State secretary sees OECD opening to the east

Paris, November 24 (MTI) – The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is clearly opening to the east, state secretary for security policy and international cooperation István Mikola said on Tuesday.

Mikola told MTI in Paris on the opening day of the Eurasia Week 2015 event that Hungary played a market opening role to help developed countries find their eastern orientation and a presentation about Hungary’s experiences attracted much interest.

He said that he had presented data about the Hungarian economy’s eastern prosperity and pointed out that Hungarian investment to Asia increased by as much as 14 percent in 2014.

Mikola said that Hungary could contribute to OECD’s opening to the east efforts primarily by sharing knowledge.

“Hungary is not only opening to the East but it is already present with serious investments in the large system of eastern markets that the OECD has now started to strongly support,” he said.
