PM Orbán Holds Talks With Cuban Opposition Leader
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán held talks with Cuban democratic opposition leader and human rights activist Oscar Elias Biscet in Budapest, Orbán’s press chief said in a statement. Orbán and Biscet agreed that freedom, democracy and human rights are common ideals pursued both by Hungary’s ruling Fidesz party headed by Orbán and the Cuban opposition, the statement said.

Parties at the talks agreed to deepen cooperation and that Hungary will further share with the Cuban side its experience in the transition to democracy.

Orbán and Biscet also hailed the recent meltdown in Cuba’s international isolation, the statement said. Biscet’s visit came at the invitation of Orbán.

The meeting was attended by Fidesz’s MEP József Szájer, foreign affairs leader Zsolt Németh and former foreign minister János Martonyi.
