Continued diplomatic ties between Singapore and Hungary for 50 years now have been underpinned by "mutual respect", according to Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto, who noted there has been a practical side to the cooperation as well in an interview with The Straits Times yesterday.
"We represent a similar kind of approach when it comes to patriotism, when it comes to the approach to the nation itself," said Mr Szijjarto, who was on a one-day visit to Singapore as part of a trip to South-East Asian countries, including the Philippines and Vietnam.
