00:00Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has met with French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris just before Hungary assumes the presidency of the Council of the EU on July 1st.
00:13This meeting, a working lunch at the Elysee Palace, comes ahead of the European Council's appointments of new EU leaders.
00:21Key topics included support for Ukraine and the European defence industry, especially significant given Orban's historically close ties to Moscow.
00:30Macron's team sees this as a crucial opportunity to prepare for Hungary's upcoming presidency.
00:37This visit was also politically charged as Orban recently criticised Germany's migration policy and the way the EU has allocated top jobs,
00:47excluding some other countries within the EU because of political and party affiliations, according to Orban.
