Bertalan Havasi, Head of the Press Office of the Prime Minister, has told kormany.hu that in Hungary’s Parliament Building on Monday Prime Minister Viktor Orbán met the Chairwoman of Vietnam’s National Assembly H.E. Nguyễn Thị Kim Ngân, primarily to discuss economic issues.

At the meeting the parties determined that Hungarian-Vietnamese trade is increasing extremely dynamically, towards which the recently concluded bilateral tied-aid agreement should provide even further impetus. The Prime Minister’s Press Chief said that, as a result of the agreement, Hungarian enterprises are realising three major projects in Vietnam, within the fields of electronic public administration, water management and healthcare infrastructure.
