Szijjarto: More than 300,000 jobs created by German companies in Hungary

German companies have created over 300,000 jobs in Hungary, Peter Szijjarto, the foreign affairs and trade minister, said during a break between his talks in Essen, western Germany, on Tuesday. Hungary's cooperation with German companies is based on mutual benefits, Szijjarto told MTI by phone. The minister argued that Hungary's attractive investment environment allowed German companies to make investments that strengthen their roles in the global economy while increasing the value-added and the proportion of research and development in Hungarian workplaces.
