ANKARA (AA) – Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Sunday met in the capital Budapest for talks.

During the closed-door meeting, Erdogan and Orban discussed all aspects of bilateral relations as well as regional and international issues.

Later Sunday, Erdogan will attend a part of the World Athletics Championships, and the events commemorating Hungary's founding.

During his one-day visit, Erdogan is also expected to hold sideline talks with other counterparts, including Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, who will attend the celebrations and events.
