Kyrgyzstan’s development in Hungary’s interest, says Hungarian foreign minister
Change language:
The economies of Central Asian countries are developing at a fast rate and reaping the rewards of this boom is in Hungary’s interest, Péter Szijjártó, the foreign minister, said on Tuesday.
Countries in the region have been investing in tourism as highly attractive destinations, but they are also promoting visits by their own citizens to Europe, Szijjártó told public media, noting that Hungary has signed a tourism cooperation agreement with Kyrgyzstan.
In the context of EU cooperation, Szijjártó said that
Hungary supports the renewal of the bloc’s 1990 agreement with Kyrgyzstan and also backs increasing its 184 million euro financial framework in order to preserve its stability.
Szijjártó also noted the 65 million dollar credit line Hungary has opened to promote cooperation between the two countries’ businesses.
