Hungary is open to constructive, friendly and sincere dialogue with the United States, State Secretary for Foreign Affairs and External Economic Relations Péter Szijjártó said after meeting Deputy Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs Brent Hartley in Budapest today.

At the meeting, the two politicians reviewed bilateral relations and concluded that successful strategic cooperation had taken place between Hungary and the United States within NATO's framework.

The State Secretary provided information about the Hungarian Government's measures aiming at renewing the country, reducing public debt and reorganising state-financed sectors such as education, healthcare and public administration over the past two and a half years.

Brent Hartley also briefed the State Secretary about the US position on these measures.
