Islamabad: In a significant development, Pakistan and Hungary have signed an agreement to waive visa requirements for holders of diplomatic passports, aiming to strengthen bilateral ties.
Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó arrived in Islamabad on a one-day visit and met with Pakistan’s Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar. The agreement was officially announced during a joint press conference.
