On December 11, during the working visit to Hungary, Jeyhun Bayramov, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan, was received by Tamas Sulyok, the President of Hungary. Both sides discussed expanding the strategic partnership in trade, investment, energy security, green technologies, transport connectivity, education, and cultural exchanges. They emphasized that sustained political dialogue and high-level contacts reinforced the mutually beneficial ties between Azerbaijan and Hungary. Post-conflict realities in the region, the normalization process with Armenia, as well as rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts in Azerbaijan’s liberated territories, were also addressed. The two sides underlined the growing cooperation within regional and multilateral platforms and expressed a shared commitment to further strengthening bilateral interaction.

Hungary and Azerbaijan later signed a framework agreement on the purchase of 800 million cubic meters of natural gas over two years, which Péter Szijjártó, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Hungary, described as a key step in diversifying Hungary’s energy supply following Bayramov’s visit to Budapest. Zoltan Kovacs, the Hungarian Secretary of State for International Communication, provided details on the natural gas agreement between the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan (SOCAR) and Hungary’s MVM ONEnergy. He stated that "the deal between MVM and SOCAR allows for daily imports of 1.1 million cubic meters," noting that "diversification means buying energy from as many sources and via as many routes as possible," as Szijjártó emphasized. Kovacs added that the minister contrasted this approach with what he described as Brussels’s costly and narrow policy. The secretary of state stressed that Szijjártó warned about EU policies posing a threat to Hungary’s energy security, while cooperation with Baku reduced these risks. Kovacs quoted the Hungarian minister as saying: "Western leaders once mocked us, now they line up for meetings in Baku. Our partnership isn’t based on oil prices, but on mutual respect and long-term benefits for both countries".

Jeyhun Bayramov and Péter Szijjártó also delivered a joint press statement following the 3rd meeting of the Strategic Dialogue. The ministers highlighted the progress achieved in political, economic, energy, transport, environmental, and humanitarian areas, stressing that the strategic partnership between the two countries had continued to strengthen. It was noted that the agreements reached during the meeting would contribute to the further development of bilateral cooperation and support stability, connectivity, and sustainable development initiatives across the wider region.
