BUDAPEST, March 10 (Xinhua) -- Hungarian Prime Minister Gordon Bajnai and his Mongolian counterpart Batbold Sukhbaatar discussed how to increase economic cooperation and strengthen ties between the two countries on Wednesday in Budapest.
The meeting coincided with the 60th anniversary of the two countries' establishment of diplomatic relations.
Batbold, on his first foreign trip since becoming prime minister in late 2009, said it was extremely important for Mongolia to build ties with the European Union.
Bajnai said the Hungarian border-crossing point of Zahony on its eastern boundary with Ukraine could serve as an entry point for Mongolian goods entering the European Union. To build trade links between the two countries, a Mongolian Trade and Information Center was set up in Budapest in 2005.
