During Viktor Orbán’s tenure as prime minister of Hungary, relations between Hungary and Iran have increased. Hungary has hosted forums for Iranian businesses in Budapest, and has offered academic scholarships to Iranian students, almost 2,000 of whom are currently studying in Hungary. Orbán visited Iran in 2015 and met Iran's leader, Ali Khamenei.
Péter Szijjártó, the Hungarian foreign minister, has described the Hungarian–Iranian relationship as "free of political disputes."[1] He has travelled to Iran several times, and signed agreements on trade and agriculture.[2]
