Hungary wants to boost economic cooperation with Iran
Despite international sanctions, the framework for developing Hungarian-Iranian economic cooperation is in place, Péter Szijjártó, Hungary’s minister of foreign affairs and trade, said on Thursday.
Although the global situation is complicated and punitive measures against Iran are still in force, there are several promising fields of cooperation, the minister told a session of the bilateral economic mixed committee. Hungarian products and services are competitive in the global market, with Hungary producing the tenth highest export-to-GDP ratio in the world, he said.
Szijjártó was accompanied by CEOs of seven companies involved in agriculture, food industry, water management, health and energy industry, during the visit.
The minister said that all conditions for developing inter-company cooperation were in place.

Bilateral relations are free of political disputes, he said, adding that Hungary’s parliament had ratified the bilateral investment protection agreement earlier this week and the two countries concluded a customs agreement to eliminate administrative trade barriers.
Hungary and Iran have agreed to recognise one another’s immunity certificates,
Szijjártó said. At present over 2,000 Iranian students are studying at Hungarian universities and colleges, the minister said. Szijjártó said Hungary highly appreciated Iran’s role in helping to curb the waves of Afghan refugees.

Orbánistan, the autocratic regime that every second day barks about supposedly Christian values they pretend to defend and represent ( values they obviously have no clue about, Christianity is all but Orbán’s policies ) and which claims to be fiercely anti-comnunist has sold itself to communist China, de facto being a colony of it, and has become advocate of the world’s second ugliest non-Christian theocracy ( the number one being S.Arabia, surely another best friend of Orbánistan’s… )
While I disapprove getting chummy with communist China, Turkey and Azerbaijan because they are ruled by brutal, anti-Christian dictators, I don’t have similar problems with Iran.
Iran is not anti-Christian and Christians, mostly ethnic Armenians are allowed to live and prosper there.

That’s weird, I though Saudi Arabia was best friends with the US and Western countries, who turn a blind eye to its crimes. Perhaps, it is because your arrogance is showing again.
