Jakarta, Feb 4, 2016 (Antara) - The three-day official visit of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán to Indonesia has served as a momentum to strengthen commitment to forging closer economic ties between the two countries.
Orbán arrived in Jakarta on January 31 in the company of a large entourage that included Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó, Minister of National Economy Mihály Varga, Minister for National Development Miklós Seszták, and Minister of Agriculture Sándor Fazekas. "We are a member country of the European Union, which perceives Indonesia as a big country, which is also a member of G-20. In our view, Indonesia is not only a country but a continent, which plays a very important role in the world," Orbán stated after holding a one-on-one meeting with President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) at the presidential State Palace in Jakarta on Feb. 1. Orbán believed that bilateral cooperation with Indonesia must be developed on the long term based on friendship and mutual understanding and benefits.
