Hungarian and Dutch business figures gathered at the Hungarian Embassy in The Hague on 8 February for an evening of networking and bilateral trade promotion.
With the support of the Hungarian Business Network, the event attracted entrepreneurs and business leaders from The Hague, Amsterdam, Rotterdam and beyond. Members of the Hungarian diaspora were well represented and the spacious embassy function room was soon close to capacity.

Hungarian Ambassador H.E. Mr. András Kocsis delivered a welcome address in Dutch. He began by praising the strong bilateral relationship between Hungary and the Netherlands and observed that economic ties between the two countries continue to strengthen.
“The Netherlands is a significant investor in Hungary and bilateral trade has risen rapidly since Hungary’s accession to the EU,” explained the Ambassador, highlighting several major success stories in Hungarian-Dutch economic cooperation.
“I believe that this event will allow us to grow closer in our friendship and to build better economic and cultural ties between our nations,” he continued. “This event provides an opportunity to be introduced to a nation’s life which may evolve into more permanent personal and professional relations.”
“It may also trigger visits to the host country, and I’d like to take this opportunity to encourage anyone who has not visited Hungary yet, and of course those who have already done so, to come and enjoy the unparalleled facilities of Hungary – from our rich cultural life to the country’s natural beauty, famous spas, and much more.”
