Italian and Hungarian leaders talk about peace deals and EU growth in Rome

In a high-level get-together in Rome Giorgia Meloni and Viktor Orbán shared their views on world-wide peace-making efforts. The two prime-ministers talked about finding long-term solutions for Ukraine and Middle East issues

The Italian leader gave props to her Hungarian co-worker for getting some cool stuff done: leading the EU Council (which Hungary will do for next half-year)‚ starting talks with Albania about joining the club; and helping Bulgaria and Romania move forward with Schengen stuff

Both leaders showed their support for Ukraineʼs future rebuilding plans — making it clear they want to see positive changes in Eastern Europe. The meeting showed how smaller EU countries can work together on big-picture goals‚ even though everyone has different ideas about how to get there
