History Edit

 
Prime Minister of Hungary Viktor Orbán and Vice President of India Mohammad Hamid Ansari in Budapest in 2016

Historically, Hungary and India enjoyed close and friendly relations when the diplomatic relations were set in 1948. India's role in the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 can not be forgotten; for saving the life by India's intervention with the then Soviet Union of Dr. Árpád Göncz who subsequently served as President of Hungary from 1990 to 2000.[1] There have been regular visits at high level between the two sides. The period 2019-2020 was a particularly noteworthy year for bilateral interaction between the two countries as there were three ministerial visits within a period of six months; first, the visit of External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar to Hungary in August 2019;[2] second, the visit of India's Jal Shakti(hydro-power) Minister Mr. Gajendra Singh Shekhawat to Hungary in October 2019 for attending the Budapest Water Summit;[3] and three, the visit of Hungary's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Mr. Peter Szijjarto to India in January 2020. Mr. Vikas Swarup, Secretary(West) in the Ministry of External Affairs of India visited Hungary in January 2021 for the 10th round of Foreign Office Consultations.[4]

In 2019, The Fidesz Hungarian government in Hungary has also expressed support for India on Kashmir and the Citizenship Amendment Act protests.[5]

Economic relations Edit

The Hungarian exports have hitherto been confined to high technology, industrial products, automobiles, telecom and IT, but Mr. Orban's government is keen for developing exports in agricultural and food products and services, too. Indian companies have invested $2 billion in Hungary, but there is scope for more.[6] There are various areas of cooperation, including collaboration on research and development, automotive components, healthcare, machine tools, agriculture machinery, non-conventional energy and electrical equipment, electronics, information technology, pharmaceuticals higher education, entertainment, etc. Indian investment in Hungary is almost US$2 billion and Indian firms provide employment to over 10,000 people in the country.[7]
