PM Dung also conveyed thanks to Hungary for offering official development assistance to the construction of the Tumor Hospital in the southern city of Can Tho and the clean water supply project in the Red River region.

The Government chief affirmed that Viet Nam always attaches importance to deepening cooperation with Hungary, especially in such fields like economy, trade, investment, education, science and technology.

He asked the Hungarian side to continue granting scholarship to Vietnamese students and support for the Vietnamese community to better integrate into the host society.

The host suggested that the European country would recognize Viet Nam’s market economy status soon and advocate the early signing of the Viet Nam-EU free trade agreement.

The Hungarian top legislator showed his impressions on Viet Nam’s socioeconomic development achievements and its rising position on the international arena.

“Hungary always regards Viet Nam as an important partner in the region, not just in the past but also the present and future,” Mr. Kover Laszlo stated.

He went on to say that his country pledged to offer Viet Nam 100 scholarships annually while striving to boost the relations between Viet Nam and the EU./.
