The Embassy of Hungary in Vietnam plays a vital role in representing Hungary's interests, fostering bilateral relations, and promoting economic, cultural, and educational cooperation.
Vietnam and Hungary are thought two geographically and culturally distant countries. Those who are only superficially familiar with our countries would not believe how much we have in common. Each time we talk about the past that links the two countries together, our Vietnamese friends talk only about similarities. We still remember the Vietnamese students who studied in Hungary – they are now valued members of Vietnam’s economic and political elite. They continue to watch with great attention the economic and social changes in Hungary and they are those who provide help for the current young students who were again given the opportunity to study in Hungary. Due to the high participation rate and the growing interest from Vietnam, the initially established yearly quota of 50 Stipendium Hungaricum scholarships quickly doubled to 100 and has been raised by the Hungarian government to the current yearly quota of 200 scholarships available for Vietnamese students.
We Hungarians are discovering today with a curiosity mixed with excitement the young and dynamic Vietnam with100 million inhabitants already, this well respected member of the ASEAN community, a country that plays an important role in the stability of the region, and that shows an incredibly fast growing economy.
