Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said that Ukraine and Hungary are opening a new chapter in their bilateral relations based on mutual respect and trust.
According to Ukrinform, the head of Ukrainian diplomacy made the statement on X.
Sybiha thanked the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the European Union for its leadership in advancing Ukraine's EU accession process, as well as all EU member states, the European Commission, and EU institutions for their unwavering support.
"I also appreciate Hungary’s constructive engagement. We are opening a new chapter in Ukraine-Hungary relations — one built on mutual respect, trust, and our shared European future," the minister wrote.
As Ukrinform previously reported, Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar stated that a comprehensive agreement had been reached with Ukraine on expanding the linguistic, educational, cultural, and political rights of the Hungarian minority, which numbers around 100,000 people.
The announcement comes amid progress in Ukraine's European Union accession process and follows reports that Hungary is prepared to support the opening of the first cluster of EU membership negotiations with Ukraine.
