It is in Hungary's vital interest to cooperate with foreign investors that provide new jobs in the country, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said on Tuesday, opening the third production hall of RAFI Hungaria in Mezőtúr. The 840 million forint expansion had a 240 million government subsidy, he added.

Hungarian industry depends on cooperation with the German industry for its survival, the Prime Minister stated, referring to the local subsidiary of the German electromechanical and communications components maker RAFI. Hires are increasing by 40 to 440 with the new hall's commissioning, he noted.
