On Jan. 31, the Embassy of Hungary in Tokyo hosted a party to celebrate the launch of the V4 plus Japan Exchange Year 2014.
The V4, made up of the Visegrad Group or Visegrad Four, is a regional cooperation uniting the four Central European countries of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. The group was founded in 1991 to work together in a variety of areas of common interest.
As the V4 relationship with Japan marks its 10th anniversary, 2014 was nominated as the V4 plus Japan Exchange Year. The occasion is expected to provide a good opportunity for Japan to gain a better understanding of the region in terms of opportunities in commerce, culture and tourism.
