Modern Relations

[edit]

During reign of Victor Orbán as prime minister of Hungary, Iran and Hungary relations have been growing. Hungary has hosted forums for Iranian businesses in Budapest. Hungary has been offering academic scholarships to Iranian students, almost 2,000 of whom are currently studying in Hungary. Orbán visited Iran in 2015 and met Iran's leader, Seyyed Ali Khamenei. Peter Szijjártó, Hungarian foreign minister, has described the Hungarian–Iranian relationship "free of political disputes."[1] He has travelled to Iran several times and signed agreements on trade and agriculture.[2]
