European Council President Charles Michel will suspend his visit to Beijing as Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban threatens to disrupt the EU leaders' summit to be held in December. This was reported by Politico.
"Michel, who traveled to China for the first in-person EU-China summit since 2019, will return to Brussels to continue talks with leaders on the way forward," the article says.
The publication writes that in a letter dated December 4, Orban urged Michel to remove the negotiations on Ukraine's accession from the agenda of the upcoming European Council summit.
"I respectfully urge you not to call on the European Council to take a decision on these issues in December, as the obvious lack of consensus will inevitably lead to failure," Orban wrote.
