Tokyo, May 12 (MTI) – Hungarian House Speaker László Kövér met Masaaki Yamazaki, the president of the upper house of the Japanese parliament, during his official visit to Tokyo, he said on Thursday.

At the talks Kövér expressed hope that his current visit will pave the way for a more intensive cooperation between the two countries’ parliaments, the house speaker told MTI in a statement.

Masaaki Yamazaki said the visit by the Hungarian delegation led by Köver is a highly important step in further strengthening relations and cooperation between the two countries.
