Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is likely to visit Bangladesh soon and the two countries are expecting to sign a number of cooperation agreements to strengthen the bilateral relations, said Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen.
The date of the visit will be finalised through mutual discussion, he added.
Momen had a meeting with Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Peter Szijjarto in New York on the sidelines of the 77th UNGA and discussed the areas of cooperation, reports UNB.
"Hungarian Prime Minister will visit Bangladesh. During the visit, all pending agreements will be signed," a senior official at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs told the news agency without elaborating further.
Hungry has increased the number of scholarships for Bangladeshi students from 140 to 240.
The European country will support Bangladesh to get a solution to the Rohingya issue.
Earlier in June this year, Momen handed over a special message to his Hungarian counterpart from Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina addressed to the newly re-elected Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
