During this meeting, the two sides discussed bilateral relations and regional issues.  

Bagheri, while once again congratulating Hungary on assuming the rotating presidency of the European Union, stated that the relations between Iran and Hungary have always been positive and forward-moving.

He expressed hope that during Hungary's presidency of the European Union, the dialogues would become more robust.
