Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade of Hungary

In 2014, the Government of Hungary extended the diplomatic portfolio of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, which was originally limited to foreign policy matters. As a result, the Ministry became the main engine for boosting Hungary’s foreign economic activity. In order to strengthen Hungary’s position in overseas markets, the Ministry maintains a network of over 140 Commercial and Trade attachés. They employ economic diplomacy in order to serve Hungary’s foreign economic interests in the host countries, as well as aiming to increase Hungarian exports of goods and services. The aim of the Commercial and Trade attaché network is to aid Hungarian companies in strengthening the Hungarian economy in foreign markets, with relevant business information, partnerships, and company-specific solutions.
