Hungary is the door for Vietnam to expand relations with the European Union; Vietnam is the door for Hungary to strengthen relations with Southeast Asia and Asia.
President Toth Bertalan hopes that General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong's visit to Hungary this time will open doors for both sides.
President Tóth Bertalan emphasized: “What belongs to history cannot be changed. Priceless friendship will never change,” wishing that the relationship between the Hungarian Socialist Party and the Communist Party of Vietnam will continue to be maintained, strengthened and tightened.
Chairman Tóth Bertalan hopes that “each Party has its own experience and the two sides will increase sharing and learning from each other.”
General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong thanked the Hungarian Socialist Party for always supporting Vietnam, despite the changing situation. Vietnam and Hungary have a good traditional friendship; the Communist Party of Vietnam and the Hungarian Socialist Party have long had close relations.
Hungary has always supported the just cause of the Vietnamese people, in the past struggle for independence and freedom, as well as in the current national development and construction.
Vietnam always remembers and is grateful for the valuable and effective assistance of the State and people of Hungary. Many generations of Vietnamese people have studied in Hungary, many of whom hold important positions in the State apparatus as well as in the economic and social life of Vietnam.
The Vietnamese community in Hungary currently has more than 5,000 people, and each year Hungary provides 200 scholarships to Vietnamese students. This is an important bridge for the increasingly strong relationship between the two countries.
General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong stated that the delegation's visit to Hungary this time aims to continue consolidating and enhancing the traditional friendship and comprehensive cooperation between the two countries.
The General Secretary hopes that the Hungarian Socialist Party will continue to support Vietnam and its policies towards Vietnam; assist and help the Vietnamese community in Hungary integrate well into the host society, and contribute to building the comprehensive Vietnam-Hungary cooperative relationship.
