Thai Prime Minister Met Orbán in Brussels
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán met the prime minister of Thailand, Prayut Chan-o-cha, for talks in Brussels on Wednesday, focusing mainly on strengthening economic cooperation.

According to information from Orbán’s press chief, the two prime ministers agreed that their countries’ economies could contribute to each other’s performance rather than compete, which could facilitate much more dynamic cooperation in investment and trade projects.

The Thai prime minister thanked Orbán for Hungary’s ensuring scholarships to 40 Thai students each year to study at Hungarian universities.

The two prime ministers mutually invited each other for an official visit to their countries.
