Turkey-Hungary diplomatic and economic relations

Overview

Turkey and Hungary continue to strengthen bilateral and strategic ties through diplomatic, cultural, and economic cooperation. During official visits to Budapest, AK Party Deputy Chairman Kürşad Zorlu described Hungary as a “gateway to the Turkic world in the West” and a “window to the West” for the Organization of Turkic States (OTS).

Diplomatic discussions have focused on upcoming international events, such as the COP31 Climate Summit to be hosted by Turkey, which will include a “Special Session for Turkic States” at the United Nations. Additionally, Hungarian officials have extended an invitation to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for official talks in Hungary.

Economic and strategic cooperation is expected to expand into energy infrastructure, transportation, and climate change mitigation. At the Great Hun-Turk Kurultay in Bugac, Hungary, organized by the Hungarian Turan Foundation, the shared cultural heritage of Hun and Turkic communities was celebrated. The event brought together representatives from over 27 Turkic groups, including high-level officials such as the Secretary General of the OTS and culture ministers from Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan.

During the Kurultay, Zorlu noted that the OTS has reached an economic scale of $2.6 trillion and reiterated the goal of becoming one of the world’s top 10 economies by 2030. Turkey provided logistical support through TİKA, which established a special Hun-Turk tent to showcase its activities alongside exhibitions such as the ‘Treasures of the Huns, Turks, and Hungarians’ and an ‘Eastern Bazaar’ featuring handicrafts from various Turkic artisans.
