en.Wedoany.com Reported - French President Emmanuel Macron announced on June 3 that he had reached an agreement with visiting Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Mátyás to initiate the drafting of a new strategic partnership document between France and Hungary, with the goal of signing it by the end of 2026.

Macron stated that this partnership will deepen cooperation between the two countries in strategic sectors such as defense, nuclear energy, infrastructure, transportation, and agriculture. In the defense field, France and Hungary plan to enhance coordination and collaboration; in energy, nuclear power is listed as one of the key topics for strategic cooperation. Infrastructure and transportation construction are also included in the scope of future cooperation. Agriculture is another area where the two countries plan to focus efforts. Through the new cooperation mechanism, France and Hungary hope to create more opportunities in agricultural production, industrial development, and related economic cooperation.

The existing nuclear energy cooperation between France and Hungary is based on the expansion project of the Paks II nuclear power plant in Hungary, where Électricité de France (EDF) is providing two EPR-type units equivalent to VVER-1200 (with French participation in partial engineering design and fuel service negotiations). The inclusion of a "nuclear energy" clause in this strategic partnership is seen as a political signal to further consolidate collaboration between the two countries in the nuclear power sector.
