The meeting took place as part of a celebration which Budapest hosted to mark the twentieth anniversary of the Russian-Hungarian long-term gas contract.
During the meeting – which was also attended by Minister of National Development Miklós Seszták and Head of the Prime Minister’s Office János Lázár – several issues were discussed, including Hungary’s security of supply and the maintenance of affordable natural gas, for which long-term contracts are of special importance.
Mr. Havasi added that Mr. Zubkov and Mr. Orbán aim to continue and improve cooperation.
