US Charge D’Affaires Invited To Hungary's CTTEE Meeting
Zsolt Németh, the (ruling Fidesz) head of parliament’s foreign affairs committee, has invited US charge d’affaires André Goodfriend to attend a meeting of the committee. Speaking at a press conference, he said “it is high time to review Hungarian-US relations.” Goodfriend had indicated that he would ask for permission to participate in the committee meeting and Németh noted that Goodfriend had expressed a firm intention to meet him personally.

He trusted Goodfriend would attend the committee meeting for a discussion of bilateral relations, including the recent US entry ban of several Hungarian officials.

The US last month imposed an entry ban on six Hungarian officials on charges of corruption. One of the officials affected is Ildikó Vida, the head of the national tax office.
