Palestine

Hungary–Palestine relations (Arabic: علاقات المجر وفلسطين, Hungarian: Magyarország-Palesztina kapcsolatok) were formalized when Hungary recognized the State of Palestine as a sovereign state on 23 November 1988.[1] Palestine has an embassy in Budapest.

History

In 1975, the PLO opened an office in Budapest and gained diplomatic status in 1982. In 1988 after the recognition of indpendence it was raised to a full-fledged embassy. In 2011, the Palestinian President visited Hungary at the invitation of President Pál Schmitt.[2] Many Palestinian students study in Hungarian universities via scholarships (Stipendium hungaricum).[3]
