Hungarian National Assembly Speaker László Kövér starts official visit to Vietnam. |
Accompanying Speaker Kover Laszlo are Ambassador Baloghdi Tibor; Sárdi Péter, Foreign Affairs Adviser to the Speaker; Kovács Krisztián, Director of the Foreign Relations Directorate of the Hungarian National Assembly Office; Szilágyi Zoltán, Press Officer of the Hungarian National Assembly; and Tóbiás Gábor, Deputy Ambassador of Hungary to Vietnam.
Speaker Kover Laszlo, who has a long-standing affection for Vietnam, previously visited the country in 2015 in his current capacity.
His official visit this time takes place as Vietnam and Hungary mark the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations (February 3, 1950 - 2025), following the official visit to Vietnam by Hungarian President Sulyok Tamas and his spouse in May.
The visit underscores the mutual respect and shared commitment of the two countries’ senior leaders to further deepen and enhance the Vietnam - Hungary Comprehensive Partnership.
According to Vietnamese Ambassador to Hungary Bui Le Thai, the frequent exchange of delegations, including two high-level visits by both the Hungarian President and the National Assembly Speaker to Vietnam in the same year, demonstrates Hungary’s special regard for Vietnam and reflects the strong political trust between the two nations’ senior leaders. This highlights the growing depth, substance and effectiveness of the traditional friendship and comprehensive partnership between Vietnam and Hungary.
