Ambassador Takács praised the development of bilateral economic relations and thanked the representatives of the companies for their commitment to their investments in Hungary. During the challenging economic situation brought on over last year by the coronavirus pandemic, it was the American companies that created the most jobs in the country. Today, the United States remains the second-largest foreign investor in Hungary, with around 1,700 US companies employing 106,000 workers. The Ambassador emphasized that the exceptionally good relationship between the two countries provides a strong basis for close cooperation.
