Hungary's former foreign minister has resigned his seat in parliament and taken an executive position with Chinese electric automaker BYD, he announced in a social media post on Wednesday.
Péter Szijjártó, who served as Hungary's top diplomat for nearly 12 years in the government of former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, wrote on Facebook that he had received “a highly prestigious offer” from the world's top electric carmaker “to fill an international position.”
