The relationship between Vietnam and Hungary is increasingly close and strong, demonstrated by the fact that in a short time, Vietnam was honored to welcome two delegations of high-ranking Hungarian leaders to visit.

Mr. Vo Van Minh said that Ho Chi Minh City has just merged with Binh Duong and Ba Ria - Vung Tau provinces, becoming a "super city" with a population of over 14 million people and an area of ​​over 6,700 km2. Currently, the city contributes about 1/3 of the national budget and its economic scale accounts for about 1/4 of the whole country.

The Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Council emphasized that after the merger, the City is trying to promote its advantages to develop the City more strongly and sustainably in the coming time, especially in areas such as: Marine economy, tourism, industry associated with oil and gas, seaports, high-tech industry... In particular, Ho Chi Minh City is promoting the construction of the Vietnam International Financial Center in the City.

According to Mr. Vo Van Minh, in 2015, Ho Chi Minh City had friendly cooperation with Budapest, the capital of Hungary. In the coming time, the City hopes that more and more Hungarian enterprises will come to invest, develop production and business in the City; strengthen friendly cooperation and people-to-people diplomacy between the City and localities of Hungary.

Hungarian National Assembly Chairman Kover Laszlo thanked the Ho Chi Minh City leaders for their warm welcome to the delegation and expressed his pleasure to visit and witness the remarkable development of Vietnam today. The Hungarian National Assembly Chairman said that compared to 10 years ago (the last visit to Vietnam), Ho Chi Minh City has developed remarkably in all aspects.

National Assembly Chairman Kover Laszlo said that Hungary always encourages businesses to seek investment opportunities in Vietnam in general and Ho Chi Minh City in particular. He hoped that Ho Chi Minh City would continue to pay attention and create favorable conditions for Hungarian businesses to cooperate, do business and strengthen friendly cooperation with Hungarian localities.

Previously, the delegation of the President of the Hungarian National Assembly visited the stupa to pay tribute to Hungarian scholar and Orientalist Sandor Korosi Csoma in Vung Tau ward.
