Speaking at the event, Chairman of the municipal Vietnam – Hungary Friendship Association Le Minh Triet expressed his belief that Vietnam – Hungary traditional ties will keep growing, especially when the two countries lifted their ties to comprehensive partnership level in 2018.
He said the association will continue working closely with the Consulate General of Hungary in Ho Chi Minh City to hold exchange activities, thus contributing to strengthening ties between the two peoples.
Triet also believed that once COVID-19 pandemic is under control, ties between the two countries, as well as between Ho Chi Minh City and Hungarian localities, will enter a new period with more practical results.
