The Magyar Külügyi Intézet - MKI (Hungarian Institute of International Affairs - HIIA) was first founded in 1972 in Budapest, as a result of the Helsinki accord, and later on it was integrated into the László Teleki Foundation. In 2007, the Hungarian Government decided to re-establish the Institute as a foreign affairs academic research and discussion centre, as well as a consulting think-tank of the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
