The Government has so far concluded strategic partnership agreements with 38 international companies, he said in Zalaszentgrót, at the launch event of Coca Cola Hungary's bottled mineral water exports. These partner companies have so far implemented investments worth 650 billion forints (EUR 2.08bn) and created 5,500 new jobs in Hungary, Mr Szijjártó said.
Coca Cola's exports to Croatia will double the volume of Hungary's overall mineral water exports, he pointed out.
