Hungarian Prime Minister<\/a> and European strongman Viktor Orban<\/a>, known for his constant advocacy to end the Russia-Ukraine war through negotiated settlement unlike several other European leaders, is currently on a two-week private visit to Kerala with his spouse and family.While such private visits to India by the Gulf royalty for holiday or health reasons are common, such trips by European leaders are rare.
Speaking to a Hungarian tabloid Blikk, Orban described India as the land of culture and land of economic growth. “My wife and two daughters and I are in southern India,” he said. “We chose this country for two reasons: the past and the future. In Kochi, where I am now, Vasco da Gama died, whom I liked from the novels of my youth. I ‘followed’ in his footsteps. My favourite explorer, as important as Columbus. So much for the past. The other reason we are here is the future. India’s economy is poised for explosive growth.” <\/p>\n

Orban also spoke about the timing of his trip. “Hungary<\/a>‘s EU presidency ended on January 1. I took my leave the next day and we were ready to go,” he said.<\/p>\n

Responded to speculation about his trip, he said, “I read all kinds of nonsense being spouted. That is the way it is. But nothing else has happened, the prime minister has just taken his holiday. I am healthy as a horse. Do not get your hopes up.”
He said that he would be back on Kossuth Radio on January 17 for his usual morning interview.Orban said, “India is not known for being a tourist paradise. If you want luxury, go to an Austrian ski resort or the Bahamas. If you are interested in culture, come to India.” <\/p>\n

India and Hungary share strong political and economic ties. Indian businesses have a significant presence in Hungary and use the location for their outreach in Central Europe as Hungary borders several countries.<\/p>\n

India is seen as a country whose ancient culture and spiritual traditions and the academic and scientific excellence, especially in the “knowledge sector”, is deeply attractive to ordinary Hungarians. Bilateral economic relationship<\/a> has been strengthened with Indian investments of about $3.3 billion in Hungary. Bilateral trade crossed $1.2 billion in 2023.<\/p>\n

India was the largest greenfield investor in Hungary in 2014 and third largest in 2015. The major Indian firms present in Hungary include Apollo Tyres<\/a>, Samvardhana Motherson Group, SMR Automotive, Sun Pharmaceuticals, Orion Electronics Ltd., Sona BLW and major IT companies TCS<\/a>, Wipro<\/a>, Cognizant and Tech Mahendra. Indian companies in Hungary provide employment to more than 10,000 people. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
