Prime Minister Viktor Orbán stated in Rome that Hungary is on the threshold of economic and social success because it is reducing public debt while boosting competitiveness and getting more people into employment. The Hungarian Prime Minister participated in a two-day international meeting of Christian Democratic parties in Rome.

‘Hungary is able to handle the economic crisis and the resulting social challenges’, the Prime Minister stated. He highlighted that thanks to extremely broad public support and national consultations, a modern, 21st century constitution rooted in the country's Christian traditions has been adopted, which will serve as a secure foundation for Hungary in the future.

During his visit, Prime Minister Orbán will also participate at a working lunch with other European Prime Ministers, discussing the eurozone crisis.
