The Hungarian Foreign Minister said that an agreement on mutual cooperation between the two countries has been signed. One of them is the exchange of training between the diplomats of the two countries.
He said Bangladesh has recently been working on setting up a nuclear power plant. Hungary has been working on this since the 70s. We are now using second stage technology. We have learned that the power plant in Bangladesh is being built by the State Atomic Energy Corporation (Rosatom) of the Russian Federation.
This company is also engaged in this work in Hungary. Hungary has 40 years of experience in this field. Therefore, 30 Bangladeshi engineers will be trained in Hungary every year.
