On April 15, during a visit to Vietnam, First Officer of the Hungarian National Assembly Márta Mátrai had a working trip to Ninh Binh.
Receiving his Hungarian guests, Secretary of the Ninh Binh Provincial Party Committee Doan Minh Huan highlighted the fine relations between Vietnam and Hungary, saying that the visit contributes to promoting parliamentary diplomacy between the two countries – one of Vietnam's important diplomatic methods currently.
“This is also a good opportunity for Ninh Binh to expand ties with Balatonfured city of Hungary,” he said.
He gave general information about the province's geographical location, historical and cultural values, potential and strengths, emphasizing that Trang An World Cultural and Natural Heritage is a model in preserving, caring for, and promoting heritage values and is one of the world's leading attractive heritage sites.
This heritage is continuously voted by major world magazines and press agencies as one of the most interesting and attractive destinations in the world.
In economic development, Ninh Binh identifies the pillars of tourism development as cultural industry and heritage value exploitation. The locality is known as one of the three leading auto industry centers in Vietnam.
Ninh Binh aims to become a centrally-run city with a millennium-old urban heritage by 2035. To achieve this goal, the province needs cooperation of traditional partners, including Hungary, he said.
Ms Márta Mátrai expressed her impression on the beauty of natural landscapes of Ninh Binh, and highly valued the working visit of local officials to Balatonfured in June 2023.
She spoke highly of Ninh Binh's proposals to Hungary in areas such as investment attraction and legislation, affirming that her country always supports and promotes these areas.
Regarding education and training cooperation, Vietnam regularly sends students to study in Hungary, with approximately 200 students per year, she said.
Apart from granting scholarships, Hungary continues to monitor and accompany students who have received scholarships to study in Hungary, she said, adding that this will be an opportunity for people from Ninh Binh to join this training support./.
