The [[foreign policy]] is based on four basic commitments: to [[atlanticism|Atlantic co-operation]], to [[European integration]], to [[international development]] and to [[international law]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Consulate General of Hungary Los Angeles|url=https://losangeles.mfa.gov.hu/eng/page/hungary-and-the-world|access-date=2022-06-03|website=losangeles.mfa.gov.hu|language=en}}</ref> Hungary has been a member of the [[United Nations]] since December 1955 and a member of the [[European Union]], [[NATO]], the [[Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development|OECD]], the [[Visegrád Group]], the [[WTO]], the [[World Bank]], the [[Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank|AIIB]] and the [[International Monetary Fund|IMF]].

Since 1989, the top foreign policy goal has been achieving integration into Western economic and security organisations. Hungary joined the [[Partnership for Peace]] programme in 1994 and has actively supported the [[Implementation Force|IFOR]] and [[Stabilisation Force in Bosnia and Herzegovina|SFOR]] missions in Bosnia. Since 1989 Hungary has improved its often frosty neighbour relations by signing basic treaties with Romania, Slovakia, and Ukraine. These renounce all outstanding territorial claims and lay the foundation for constructive relations. However, the issue of [[Hungarian diaspora|ethnic Hungarian minority]] rights in Romania, Slovakia, and Serbia periodically cause bilateral tensions to flare up. However, relations with Serbia have more recently become extremely close due to strong Hungarian advocacy for Serbian EU membership, while relations with Slovakia have warmed due to cooperation on shared priorities within EU structures.<ref>{{cite news |date=18 January 2024 |title=Orban and Fico herald new era in Hungarian-Slovak relations |url=https://www.intellinews.com/orban-and-fico-herald-new-era-in-hungarian-slovak-relations-308210/ |work=BNE IntelliNews}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.euractiv.com/section/enlargement/news/vucic-and-orban-formalise-their-special-relationship/|work=Euractiv|title=Vucic and Orban formalise their 'special relationship'|date=10 September 2021}}</ref> Since 2017, the [[Hungary–Ukraine relations|relations with Ukraine]] rapidly deteriorated over the issue of the [[Hungarians in Ukraine|Hungarian minority in Ukraine]].<ref>"[https://www.neweurope.eu/article/hungary-ukraine-relations-hit-new-low-troop-deployment/ Hungary-Ukraine relations hit new low over troop deployment] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190331181346/https://www.neweurope.eu/article/hungary-ukraine-relations-hit-new-low-troop-deployment/ |date=31 March 2019 }}".
