Dear Readers,

with our new website we intend to supply those interested in foreign policy and in travelling with fresh, exact and detailed materials, in the role of a servicing Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Besides finding current news and information on visits, you may be able to find out about the accents of Hungarian foreign policy, about Hungary’s bilateral diplomatic, economic-commercial and cultural-touristic relations (with the help of the interactive world map), and about high level visits and bilateral agreements.

Those travelling abroad may find travel advice, while those visiting our country may find helpful consular information for their problem-free visit. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs offers Hungarians travelling abroad the possibility to fill out a form requesting consular protection, with the purpose of giving help easier and faster, while in the case of a grave crisis it is the colleagues of the Crisis Management Centre who will help the Hungarian citizens who got into trouble.

The purpose of the open Ministry of Foreign Affairs is to bring foreign affairs as close as possible to the people in the country, with the help of the Public Affairs Office, with publications, by organising lectures and meetings and in many other ways. I find it important to create a possibility for those interested to find out as much as possible about the work of the Ministry and our foreign representations, and vice versa, to have the public opinion and the voice of the civil sphere concerning our activity reach the leadership and the colleagues of the Ministry as well.

I would also like to draw your attention to the websites of our foreign representations.
Thank you for visiting our website, and I wish you useful surfing!

Yours truly,

Dr. Kinga Göncz,
Minister of Foreign Affairs
