STRENGTHENING SLOVAK AND KOREAN PARTNERSHIPS

Representatives of two embassies visited the University of Miskolc this week. The aim is to further strengthen international relations.

The Ambassador of the Republic of Korea for Hungary, Park Chul-Min, was welcomed by Prof. Zita Horváth, Rector, Prof. Péter Szűcs, Vice-Rector of General and Scientific Affairs, and Krisztina Sándor, Director of International Relations. The delegation was given a short presentation about the university's education portfolio.

Earlier this week, Dr. Csaba Balogh, a former state secretary for foreign affairs and future Ambassador to Bratislava, arrived on campus. Dr. Balogh visited future Hungarian partners during his visit to Miskolc, including the Government Office of Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County and the Mayor's Office of Miskolc. Following the visit, the rector said that the aim is to strengthen V4 partnerships and Slovak university relations, and they also expect to develop Erasmus programmes with Slovak universities and to increase the opportunities for university participation in cultural and economic relations. UM already has links with several universities in the Slovak Republic.
