New York, September 22 (MTI) – Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó held talks on Thursday with his counterparts from Vietnam and Egypt on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly session.
Szijjártó told MTI that both assured him of their support for Hungary’s candidacy in the UN Human Rights Council.
At talks with Foreign Minister of Vietnam Pham Binh Minh, the sides reviewed Vietnamese investment projects being built from Hungarian loans. A sewage treatment facility is being built and a demographics registry system has already been set up, Szijjarto said.
“Richter continues to play a very important role in the pharmaceuticals market of Vietnam,” he added.
The construction of a 60 million dollar oncology hospital will be a new project and preparations have started for a waterworks on the Red River in Hanoi, Szijjártó said. Some 71 Vietnamese students with Hungarian scholarships started their studies in September, he added.
