Cooperation over competition
Hungary and Finland increase ties with EU accession
Hungary and Finland, which share the roots of a common language group, are experiencing an increase in political and economic cooperation. This is illustrated by the recent visit of Finnish Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen to Hungary, and by numerous ministerial level meetings in recent months.

Many foreigners venturing to Finland have noticed an acute enthusiasm for new technologies by the Finnish people, and this is not a new phenomenon.
