BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Hungary is missing Britain's presence within the European Union and the two countries need to build new bilateral ties, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Friday ahead of a meeting with his UK counterpart Boris Johnson.

Orban, a maverick nationalist who has locked horns with the EU over a perceived erosion of democratic standards in Hungary and rows over immigration, is working to build a new conservative alliance within Europe.
