Hungary South Korea
In February 1989, Hungary and South Korea agreed to
establish
full diplomatic relations. Hungary thus became the first
communist country to recognize South Korea. South Korea
was one
of the most developed countries in Asia, and the
Hungarians
sought South Korea's assistance in developing their
economy. In
addition, Central Committee secretary Szuros argued that
economic
ties to South Korea would facilitate the development of
ties with
other countries of East Asia and the Pacific basin and the
increase of foreign economic assistance to develop
Hungary's
economy.
