"There was a very important election in Poland from Hungary's point of view today, where the Polish ruling party has secured a majority of seats in parliament and will be able to form a government on its own," Orban was quoted as saying by the Reuters news agency.

"We congratulate our Polish friends," he added.

He was speaking after Poland's ruling conservatives won a convincing victory over opposition parties in the country's parliamentary elections and secured a second term in power, according to provisional data announced by electoral officials on Monday.
