History

In 1864, Argentina and the Austro-Hungarian Empire established diplomatic relations. [2] In 1870, Argentina and the Kingdom of Hungary signed a Treaty of Friendship, Commerce and Navigation. [3]

Beginning in the late 1920, thousands of Hungarians immigrated to Argentina, primarily settling in Buenos Aires. From the 1920s there was a continuous immigration to Argentina from Hungary and from the regions populated by Hungarians that were lost in the Treaty of Trianon. [4] In 1923 Argentina became the first Latin American nation to recognize Hungarian independence and the first to re-establish diplomatic relations in June 1949. [3] [5] Soon after World War II, many Hungarians of Jewish origin immigrated to Argentina. [6] Economic migrants from Hungary were followed by those fleeing for political reasons to Argentina as early as the 1930s, but especially after 1945.

In 1992, Hungarian Foreign Minister, Géza Jeszenszky, paid a visit to Argentina. [7] In March 1993, Argentine Foreign Minister, Guido Di Tella, paid an official visit to Hungary. In April 1997, Hungarian President, Árpád Göncz, paid an official visit to Argentina, becoming the first Hungarian head-of-government to do so. During his visit, he met with Argentine President, Carlos Menem. [3]

In October 2016, Hungarian Deputy Prime Minister, Zsolt Semjén, paid a visit to Argentina to commemorate the founding of the first Hungarian community in Argentina and to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. [8]
