Despite Bill Clinton's comments about Hungary wanting a "Putin-like leadership" and souring relations due to his ill-advised ramblings, America is determined to build bridges in Hungary.
The Hungarian-US Business Council will hold a meeting in Budapest in July to strengthen economic ties between the two nations, the organizationʼs president, Eric Stewart, told news channel M1 yesterday.
The focus of the meeting will be to encourage dialogue between American businesses operating in Hungary, firms looking to invest, and Hungarian government representatives, Stewart said.
The forum is open to all sectors looking to explore the untapped potential in Hungarian tourism, national defense, life sciences, software development and other innovative fields.
Similarly, the Council would like to see more Hungarian companies enter the US market and is promoting dialogue between US government officials as well.
Hungary is in an advantageous geographic position, particularly for those companies that would like to invest or boost their existing investments in Hungary, Stewart added.
