In a move that has stirred political waters, Austria's newly elected National Council President, Walter Rosenkranz, is set to host Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in Vienna.

Scheduled for Thursday, the meeting will take place in the Austrian Parliament, marking Orbán as Rosenkranz's first state guest.

The visit includes a discussion with FPÖ parliamentary group leader Herbert Kickl.

This invitation has sparked controversy, as Rosenkranz, a member of the right-wing FPÖ, has previously been criticized for his connections to far-right movements.

The visit coincides with Orbán's attendance at an event organized by the Swiss publication "Weltwoche.

" The meeting is seen as a significant political gesture, reflecting the close ties between Austria's FPÖ and Hungary's Fidesz party.
