Chairwoman of Vietnamese national assembly visits Hungary

Budapest, April 10 (MTI) – Prime Minister Viktor Orbán discussed bilateral economic ties with Vietnam’s National Assembly Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan in Parliament on Monday, the prime minister’s press chief said.

The two leaders agreed that Hungarian-Vietnamese trade was expanding dynamically, which they said could be further boosted by a recently signed loan agreement between the two countries. Under the agreement, Hungarian companies will implement major investments in Vietnam in the areas of electronic public administration, water management and public health infrastructure, Bertalan Havasi said.

The meeting was also attended by Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó.

The Hungarian side reassured their Vietnamese partners of Hungary’s support for the swiftest possible implementation of a free trade agreement between the European Union and Vietnam.

Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan invited Orbán for an official visit to Vietnam in the autumn.
