Hungarian Foreign Minister Janos Martonyi has left on a two-day official visit to Germany on Monday to mark the 20th anniversary of the Hungarian-German friendship treaty.

Martonyi is scheduled to meet his German counterpart Guido Westerwelle in Berlin to discuss bilateral ties and European affairs.

Martonyi is scheduled to give a lecture on Hungary's diplomatic endeavours and new foreign policy strategy in the light of European challenges in the Munich-based Foreign Policy Society.

The Hungarian-German agreement on friendly cooperation and European partnership was signed by the two countries' leaders at the time, Prime Minister Jozsef Antall and Federal Chancellor Helmut Kohl, on February 6, 1992.

The agreement envisaged regular political dialogue on international affairs, including annual meetings between the two countries' prime ministers and foreign ministers.
