Prime Minister of India: Hungary and India can be each other’s bridge to Asia, Europe

New Delhi – Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Thursday said relations between the two countries have remained on a “steady course” over the years and both the countries would be each other’s bridge to Europe and Asia.

“Our relations have remained on a steady course through the tumult and change in Europe and the world. The growing presence of Indian companies in Hungary is indicative of the promise of our relationship.

“We also value the support we have received from Hungary in international forums. All this leads me to believe that Hungary and India can find great opportunities in each other and also be each other’s bridge to Europe and Asia,” Singh said while hosting a dinner for visiting Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

He said the tradition of affection and goodwill between our people, together with our shared democratic values and the rich possibilities of our economic partnership, provide an enduring foundation for a strong partnership between the two countries.
