FRANKFURT, July 5 (Reuters) - Hungary has cancelled a meeting for Monday in Budapest with Germany's foreign minister and her Hungarian counterpart, a German foreign ministry official said on Friday.

The German ministry said it was "astonished" and that a "serious and honest" discussion was needed after Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban met Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday.
