In a statement posted on social media, Kobakhidze said that, on behalf of the Georgian people and government, he extends his congratulations to Magyar and his political team following their electoral win.
At the same time, the Georgian prime minister thanked Orbán and his government for their “exceptional and steadfast support” of Georgia’s national interests and the Georgian people over the years.
“Georgia and Hungary share a long history of friendship and partnership, which will undoubtedly continue,” Kobakhidze wrote.
