EU Parliament body to discuss relations with Hungary's presidency of the bloc

The European Parliament's organising body will discuss how the institution will engage with Hungary while it holds the EU's rotating presidency, the head of the bloc's legislature said on Tuesday, following criticism of Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

Orban drew rebukes from other European Union countries and leaders for recent surprise visits to Russia and China on a self-styled "peace mission" to end the war in Ukraine, days after Hungary assumed the EU's rotating presidency on July 1.
