  • British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Friday met with outspoken Hungarian counterpart Viktor Orban, who defended previous comments about Muslim "invaders" that caused a row about his invite to London. Orban told reporters that the pair talked about finding "a way to cooperate in a post-Brexit period", and that Johnson had raised the issues of a free press and rule of law in Hungary. After opposition parties in Britain raised strong objections about the invite, Downing Street had been forced to defend the talks but said it rejected Orban's nationalist and anti-immigrant views. It said after the meeting that Johnson "raised his significant concerns about human rights in Hungary", including gender equality and gay rights, as well as discussing Russia, Belarus and China. "The prime minister encouraged Hungary to use their influence to promote democracy and stability," a spokesperson for Johnson said. Orban rejected claims of anti-Semitism, and defended his past comments on Muslim "invaders" sweeping into Europe. "That happened, that was a fact. Without any kind of legal permission... they just destroyed the border and they marched through the country," he said, referring to Europe's refugee crisis in 2015. Immigration into Hungary was "totally negative", he said. "So to be anti-migrant, it means that you are on the good side." British Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng said earlier Friday that leaders had to meet counterparts "whose values we don't necessarily share". "I think Viktor Orban's views on migrants are things that I would not endorse in any way," he told Sky News. "Having said that, I think that we have to engage with the EU, he's an EU leader. "And in this post-Brexit world, I think it's absolutely right for us to be building bilateral relations with (EU) countries." Orban has previously praised Johnson for delivering Brexit, and the Hungarian leader often locks horns with Brussels, for example agitating against a common EU stand on China and on Israel. Johnson himself has come under criticism for offensive rhetoric, including one newspaper column in 2018 in which he described Muslim women who wear the burqa as looking like "letterboxes" and "bank robbers". jwp-mpa/jit/wai
