Iran urges Hungary to boost bilateral private sector ties

In a meeting with Hungarian minister of human capabilities in Budapest on Friday, he appreciated Hungarian officials' attitude toward Iran and Islamic Republic's history and civilization, saying that there are numerous areas of cooperation between the two countries, including culture, science and research.

Referring to long-standing ties between the two countries' relations, he said that some of the Hungarians consider themselves of Iranian origin and interest of the Iranian students and researchers is rooted in the long-standing ties.

Iran's private sector should seize numerous opportunities for cooperation with Hungary, he said, hoping that the east European country would lend necessary supports to the two countries' private sectors to help bolster bilateral ties.

Describing Hungary as one of the valuable attractions in the world, the Iranian minister hoped that the two nations will be provided with a chance to visit the two countries' sceneries.

Hungary was among the countries whose officials were quick to visit Iran and they are keen on promoting ties with Iran, he said.

The Iranian health minister left Belgium on Wednesday evening to take part in a meeting on healthcare investment opportunities for Hungary.
