The staff of the Political Section maintain official contact with government ministries, political parties, and other groups interested in public policy. They assess the degree of support for U.S. policies, advocate policy consistent with U.S. interests and seek to maximize cooperation with the Government of Hungary in areas of mutual concern.
The Political and Economic Section reports on and strives to promote a democratic, market-oriented Hungary, regional stability, prosperity, improved standards of living, respect for human rights, and achieving better Hungarian integration with western institutions, including the WTO, OECD, NATO and the EU.
