Hungary and Pakistan's visa-free deal
Foreign Minister Szijjártó arrived in Pakistan at the invitation of his counterpart, Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar. He was accompanied by a high-level business delegation. The primary objective of the visit was to explore business opportunities in Pakistan and enhance Hungary-Pakistan relations.
Speaking at a joint press conference with Ishaq Dar, Szijjártó said, “We are happy that we were able to sign the agreement to lift visa requirements for diplomatic passport holders. We have done this because we want our relations to grow stronger.”
As per the Foreign Office, this visa-free arrangement will enhance diplomatic travel and further open doors for cooperation. It will facilitate easier travel for officials from both nations to visit one another for work, meetings, and events.
