New flight may carry passengers from Budapest to exotic African country, home of safaris

The Hungarian government is ready to sign an agreement with the African country to launch new flights from Budapest. Will we be able to travel to this exotic country, home of the traditional African safaris?

New flight between Budapest and an exotic African country?

Telex found an interesting decree of PM Viktor Orbán among the resolutions published in the latest Hungarian Gazette. According to PM Orbán’s decision, he agrees to sign an air connection agreement between the governments of Hungary and Tanzania. The African country, being ten times bigger than Hungary, is the home of the traditional African safaris.

Telex says it is not clear why the Hungarian government would like to operate such an air connection, but Orbán empowered ministers János Lázár and Péter Szijjártó to appoint the members of the future talks on the issue. We will see what happens next.

A new diplomatic mission opened in Tanzania

We wrote in March that Hungary opened a new diplomatic mission in Tanzania. The announcement came after FM Szijjártó’s visit to Dar-es-Salaam, who was quoted as saying that Tanzania was “one of the pillars of stability in its region”. He added that Hungary invested some EUR 1.3 million in projects in Tanzania over the past three years. Moreover, the Hungarian government offers 30 scholarships for talented Tanzanian students every year.

The ministers also signed a framework agreement “allowing certain Hungarian water management companies using cutting-edge technology to contribute to developing Tanzania’s safe drinking water supply”, Szijjártó said, according to a ministry statement.

The last time a Hungarian top politician visited the East African country was in 1987.

Budapest-Bucharest high-speed railway on the horizon

According to iho.hu, a Hungarian travel news media outlet, a new EU programming would connect the Hungarian and the Romanian capitals with high-speed railway until 2030. The new TEN-T decree concerning the extension and development of the Trans-European traffic networks prescribes that the connection has to be ready in six years.
