German-Hungarian Relations Continue to Grow Stronger

As we previously reported, Hungary and Germany have already concluded an agreement in order to take the relations of the air forces of the two countries to a new level. This co-operation is strengthened and complemented by the just signed Memorandum of Understanding, which this time will unify the capabilities of the land forces of the two nations. The just now launched co-operation will facilitate, for example the training of the future Hungarian personnel of the German Leopard 2A7 type battle tanks and the PzH self-propelled howitzers, which will arrive in the near future.

The agreement starting the mutual work was concluded by Brigadier General Attila Takács, the Inspector of Hungarian Land Forces of the Command of the Hungarian Defence Forces, and Lieutenant General Jörg Vollmer, the Commander of the German Field Army in the presence among others of Lieutenant General Gábor Böröndi, the Deputy Commander of the Hungarian Defence Forces and H.E. Volkmar Wenzel, the Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to Budapest.
