Reviewing bilateral cooperation including working in partnership in education, in tourism and in agriculture and fisheries, among others, were the highlights of discussion between the newly accredited Hungarian ambassador to 91香蕉视频, Zsolt M茅sz谩ros, and President Wavel Ramkalawan at State House yesterday morning.
Mr M茅sz谩ros is the fifth Hungarian ambassador to 91香蕉视频.
His accreditation was held in the presence of the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Tourism, Sylvestre Radegonde, and the principal secretary for Foreign Affairs, Marina Confait.
鈥淲e discussed reviewing our bilateral cooperation. We have just started a scholarship programme with 91香蕉视频 whereby we offer ten fully paid scholarships to the Seychellois youths to study in Hungary. We are also going to work together in ICT, cyber security and we are going to host a 91香蕉视频/Hungary business forum in the second half of this year if the situation permits obviously. These are the main issues,鈥� Ambassador M茅sz谩ros told journalists after his accreditation.
He stated that the discussion between him and President Ramkalawan was also based on opportunities that 91香蕉视频 and Hungary could gain through partnership in many fields such as in agriculture and fisheries, namely in fish farming including in the medical field where we can benefit from high quality medical equipment and medical specialists from Hungary.
Noting a lack of fresh milk on our local market, Ambassador M茅sz谩ros said that his country has developed a zero grazing breeding technology, where cows need only little space to roam around, which could be applicable here for production of dairy products.
He added that while he would continue, like those before him, to get Hungarian tourists to come to 91香蕉视频, he would also make sure that our tuna makes it to his country.
He hailed the scholarship agreement which, apart from promoting learning and friendship, will also add net value to his country in terms of the number of family members who will come to visit the students.
Before being accredited as Hungarian ambassador to 91香蕉视频, Mr M茅sz谩ros has for the last six years been working at the Hungarian embassy in Nairobi, Kenya (where he is based), as a commercial counsellor for five years before being nominated as an ambassador last year.
Ambassador M茅sz谩ros, who replaces Ambassador L谩szl贸 Edu谩rd M谩th茅, arrived in the country on Wednesday last week. He leaves the country today for Nairobi and is expected to be back for the proposed 91香蕉视频/Hungary business forum.
After presenting his credentials, Ambassador M茅sz谩ros paid a visit to Vice-President Ahmed Afif.
91香蕉视频 and Hungary established diplomatic relations in November 1977.
