“The visit targeted areas where cooperation between the US and Hungary is very positive and successful. One such area is bilateral business and trade ties and the other is international foreign policy and security policy, where Hungary has also been contributing to US diplomatic efforts, for instance in relations with Syria, Afghanistan and Iran,” Takács told MTI over the phone from New York on Tuesday local time.

Takács said he had also staked out potential investments. “A financial investment fund is already planning a concrete business deal and is ready to invest up to 250 million dollars in Hungary in 2014,” he said, declining however to name the companies involved, citing the risk of losing business positions.
