Foreign Policy

Hungary pursues what Orban calls 'peacock diplomacy' -- maintaining EU and NATO membership while cultivating relationships with Russia, China, and Turkey. It has blocked or delayed EU decisions on Ukraine, Rule of Law conditionality, and migration policy. Hungary frames itself as a defender of national sovereignty against EU federalism.

Key issues include opposition to migration, protection of ethnic Hungarian minorities in neighboring countries, and maintaining energy ties with Russia.

Allies

MUN Delegate Guide

As Hungary, frame yourself as a defender of national sovereignty and traditional values against liberal internationalism and EU overreach. Block consensus strategically to extract concessions -- your veto power is your greatest tool.

Build alliances with other sovereignty-minded states (Turkey, Serbia, some Global South countries). On migration, take a hardline position and frame it as a security issue. Resist rule of law mechanisms as political instruments. Maintain channels with both Russia and Western allies -- your value is in being unpredictable.
