That is the assessment of Vietnamese Ambassador to Hungary Bui Le Thai on the significance of the visit to Vietnam of Hungarian National Assembly Chairman Kover Laszlo from October 18 to 22 at the invitation of Chairman of the National Assembly of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam Tran Thanh Man .
Bringing the bilateral relationship increasingly deeper and more effective
According to Ambassador Bui Le Thai, the visit to Vietnam by the Speaker of the Hungarian Parliament Kover Laszlo is of great significance, taking place on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries (February 3, 1950 - February 3, 2025), and only 5 months after the visit to Vietnam by Hungarian President Sulyok Tamas in May 2025. This visit not only shows respect but also affirms the determination of the Hungarian high-ranking leaders to continue to deepen the Vietnam-Hungary Comprehensive Partnership, bringing the relationship between the two countries into increasingly deeper and more effective.
“The visit is an opportunity for both sides to review the results of cooperation between Hungary and Vietnam in recent times, and discuss measures to promote comprehensive cooperation between the two countries, from politics-diplomacy, economics-trade, culture-education to science and technology, and especially in the field of parliamentary cooperation - an important pillar in the overall bilateral relationship,” Ambassador Bui Le Thai emphasized.
On this occasion, the two National Assemblies will have in-depth exchanges on legislative activities, supervision and decision-making on important national issues, as well as strengthen coordination at regional and international parliamentary forums, promote exchanges between specialized committees and the two friendship parliamentary groups. The two sides will evaluate the results of the implementation and supervision of the signed cooperation agreements, including the Cooperation Agreement between the two National Assemblies to be re-signed in 2022, and agree on new cooperation directions in line with development requirements in the current situation, as well as with the development priorities of Vietnam and Hungary in the coming time.
Ambassador Bui Le Thai said that increasing the exchange of high-ranking delegations between the two countries has significantly contributed to enhancing political understanding and trust as well as further deepening the Vietnam-Hungary Comprehensive Partnership.
Ambassador Bui Le Thai said that since the two countries officially established the Vietnam-Hungary Comprehensive Partnership in 2018, senior leaders of the two countries have regularly visited each other. In particular, in 2025 - the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations - an important milestone in bilateral relations, the two countries have been promoting delegation exchanges on all foreign channels: Party, State (including the National Assembly) and people.
On the Hungarian side, high-level delegations included the delegation of the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Economic Relations visiting Vietnam in March, the President visiting Vietnam in May, the Chairman of the Hungarian Socialist Party visiting Vietnam in June and this time the Chairman of the Hungarian Parliament.
On the Vietnamese side, up to now, there have been 10 delegations at all levels visiting and working in Hungary, including the delegation led by comrade Phan Dinh Trac, Politburo member, Party Central Committee Secretary, Head of the Central Internal Affairs Commission (June 2025).
“The regular exchange of delegations, including many high-level delegations and especially the two visits to Vietnam by both the President and the Speaker of the Hungarian Parliament in the same year, demonstrates Hungary’s special regard for its relations with Vietnam, and reflects the high level of political trust between the two countries’ senior leaders. This is the clearest evidence that the traditional friendship and comprehensive partnership between the two countries is entering a new, more substantial and effective stage of development,” Ambassador Bui Le Thai affirmed.
Parliamentary Cooperation - A Solid Foundation for the Vietnam-Hungary Comprehensive Partnership
Ambassador Bui Le Thai said that the cooperation between the Vietnamese National Assembly and the Hungarian National Assembly in recent times has truly created a solid foundation for the traditional friendship and comprehensive partnership between the two countries. The first cooperation agreement signed in 2017 and re-signed in 2022 has created a legal framework and a stable cooperation mechanism, helping the two sides promote the exchange of legislative experience, supervision, and decision-making on important national issues, thereby enhancing understanding and mutual trust between the legislative bodies of the two countries.
According to Ambassador Bui Le Thai, parliamentary cooperation plays an important role in promoting and monitoring the implementation of strategic cooperation goals between the two governments, while creating a solid political-legal foundation for other areas of cooperation such as economics, trade, investment, education and training, science and technology and culture. The two countries' National Assemblies have committed to increasing exchanges of high-level delegations and specialized committees, and promoting coordination in organizing seminars and talks on legislation and public policy, thereby contributing to sharing experiences in the process of perfecting institutions, building a rule-of-law state and sustainable development.
Ambassador Bui Le Thai said that the two sides are also implementing a mechanism to regularly exchange information on legislative activities and bilateral and multilateral international treaties to which Vietnam and Hungary are both members, in order to coordinate in effectively monitoring the implementation of international commitments, ensuring transparency and compatibility within the legal framework of each country.
In addition, close coordination at multilateral parliamentary forums - such as the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) or Asia-Europe regional forums - also helps the two countries' National Assemblies express a common voice on many important international issues, while supporting each other at multilateral forums, thereby enhancing the position and image of both Vietnam and Hungary in the international arena.
Not only stopping at the field of parliamentary cooperation, this visit is also an opportunity for the two sides to discuss in depth new potential directions of cooperation, especially in green transformation, digital transformation, application of information technology and artificial intelligence (AI) in law-making and national governance. These are fields that are both globally relevant and in line with the development strategies of both Vietnam and Hungary.
Ambassador Bui Le Thai expressed his belief that with the solid foundation built over 75 years, the determination of the leaders of the two countries, and the support of the National Assembly, Government, businesses and people of the two countries, I believe that the Vietnam-Hungary Comprehensive Partnership will continue to develop strongly, substantially and effectively, bringing practical benefits to the people of the two countries, making a positive contribution to peace, cooperation and development in the region and the world.
