Hungarian Prime Minister to Visit Japan Nov. 21-23

Tokyo, Nov. 1 (Jiji Press)--The Japanese government decided Friday to invite Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban to visit Japan between Nov. 21 and 23. The decision was made at a cabinet meeting after Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe called on Orban to visit Japan this year when they held talks in Warsaw in June. At a new conference, Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Katsunobu Kato said Hungary is a pro-Japan country and shares fundamental values with Japan, adding that many Japanese companies have invested in Hungary. The government hopes to further strengthen the bilateral relations through the coming visit, he said. END
