Trade turnover between the Visegrad Group (V4) countries and South Korea grew by 40 percent over the past five years, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Thursday, expressing hope that their cooperation could soon expand to the areas of science and technology as well. Addressing a joint press conference of the V4 leaders and South Korean President Moon Jae-in after their summit in Budapest, Orban said the central European economies had "strong years behind them" and good prospects, while South Korea was "a world champion" in economic growth and technological development. The prime minister referred to the summit as "a meeting of five success stories".
