Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. is seeking to strengthen and enhance the country’s bilateral relationship between Manila and Budapest as he is on an official visit to Hungary.
In a statement, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said Locsin will be in Budapest for three days – a stop to be highlighted by a meeting with his Hungarian counterpart Minister Peter Szijjarto.
The two are expected to discuss bilateral relations between the Philippines and Hungary as well as regional and global developments.
“Secretary Locsin’s visit will provide an opportunity for him to share with Hungarian policy makers, business leaders and members of the academe developments that have been taking place in the Philippines,” the DFA said.
