Hanoi  (VNA)- Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on September 26 concluded a successful official visit to Vietnam as guest of his Vietnamese counterpart Nguyen Xuan Phuc.

During the visit from September 24 to 26, the Hungarian Government leader held talks with PM Phuc, and had meetings with Party Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, President Tran Dai Quang and National Assembly Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan. The PM also attended the Vietnam-Hungary business forum and laid a wreath at the Monument of War Heroes and Fallen Soldiers.
