Orban: Hungary ready to host Turkic business forum in late spring

Hungary is committed to hosting in late spring a large-scale business forum of the chamber of industry and trade set up by the Turkic Council member states, Viktor Orban, Hungary's prime minister, said at an online summit meeting of the Turkic Council on Wednesday. The forum will pave the way for inter-company cooperation in major joint investment projects to be launched soon, he said. The prime minister noted that Hungary had been admitted to the Turkic Council as an observer three years ago. Since then, its diplomacy has laid great emphasis on boosting ties with the member states of the council, he said.
