House Speaker holds talks with Pakistani counterpart
László Kövér said Hungary considered Pakistan a key player in South Asia, which he called "the world's most dynamically growing region". House Speaker László Kövér has held talks with Ayaz Sadiq, the speaker of the National Assembly of Pakistan, in Budapest. The meeting coincided with the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between Hungary and Pakistan, the office told MTI, adding that it also highlighted the 'traditional friendly relationship' between the two countries. At the talks, Kövér said Hungary considered Pakistan a key player in South Asia, which he called 'the world's most dynamically growing region'. Hungary, he added, was convinced that Pakistan, a country of 250 million people and a fast-growing economy, would continue to strengthen both in the region and the international community. Kövér added that Pakistan's non-permanent membership in the UN Security Council demonstrated the country's growing influence. He expressed Hungary's appreciation of Pakistan's contribution to the UN's efforts, particularly its peacekeeping missions. Hungary, he added, was also aware of Pakistan's efforts in the fight against terrorism and illegal migration. Kövér expressed hope that Wednesday's meeting would allow Hungary and Pakistan to use parliamentary diplomacy as a means to support their intergovernmental cooperation, which had been given momentum by a recent meeting of the two countries' foreign ministers and a joint economic committee. Sadiq thanked Kövér for Hungary's offer of university scholarships to 1,500 Pakistani students each year, emphasising the over-application for places in Hungary's Stipendium Hungaricum programme. The scheme funds the studies of 400 Pakistani students each year since 2023, the statement said. The two speakers were in agreement that they also wanted to strengthen their cooperation in addressing global challenges and taking joint action at international forums. Sadiq invited Kövér for an official visit to Pakistan, which the Hungarian speaker accepted, the statement said.

Moroccan Students Show Rising Interest in Studying in Hungary
Rabat – Hungary offers scholarships to 165 Moroccan university students every year, according to the Hungarian ambassador to Morocco, Tromler Miklos. In a post on social media platform X, Miklos said that the 'Moroccan-Hungarian scientific cooperation is better than ever.' The ambassador revealed that more than 5,500 Moroccan students applied for scholarships in Hungary for the 2025/2026 academic year. This increase reflects a growing interest among Moroccan students in studying in Hungary. The scholarships are provided through the Stipendium Hungaricum program, which is funded by the Hungarian government. Established in 2013, the program is supervised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade and managed by the Tempus Public Foundation. The program offers nearly 800 full-degree programs in various fields at different levels of study. The programs are available in English, French, and other languages at 36 Hungarian universities and colleges. The scholarship covers all tuition fees and provides support for accommodation costs. In recent years, an increasing number of Moroccan students have chosen to study abroad in countries like Hungary, Ukraine, Russia, and neighboring nations. These countries attract students due to their affordable tuition fees, quality of education, and a wide range of academic programs. Many Moroccan students pursue fields such as medicine, engineering, and business . In November, Ibn Zohr University in Agadir and Hungary's Karoli Gaspar University signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to enhance academic cooperation. The agreement was initiated during a visit by a Hungarian delegation, which included Karoli Gaspar University's president, Laszlo Trocsanyi, and Hungary's ambassador to Morocco. The MoU outlines student exchanges, collaboration between professors and researchers, as well as joint research projects across various fields. Tags: EducationhungaryMoroccostudents
