This is the third meeting between the heads of the Leningrad Region and Hungarian representatives this year. The meetings participants discussed the possibility of using modern Hungarian technology in the agro-industrial complex, housing and utilities, energy-saving, construction, and transport.
The Leningrad Region and Hungary cooperate on the basis of an economic cooperation agreement signed by the Leningrad Region government and the Hungarian Ministry of Economy and Transport on December 7, 2007. Since January 2012, the Hungarian Ministry of National Development has been in charge of its implementation.
The Leningrad Region supplies Hungary with inorganic chemistry products, electrical machines, equipment and rubber, and buys from the country electrical machines and industrial equipment.
