Welcome to the website of the Permanent Representation of Hungary to the OECD and UNESCO!
This website is intended for those who wish to gain an overview of Hungary’s international presence, priorities, and cooperative efforts within the frameworks of the OECD and UNESCO. For Hungary, participation in these two organisations represents the consistent representation of national interests, professionally grounded dialogue, and a long-term strategic approach. Hungary aims to contribute to joint efforts as an active, predictable, and reliable partner, while clearly articulating its own experience and positions.
The OECD is a key forum for Hungary in the fields of economic policy and institutional development. The organisation’s analyses, databases, and policy recommendations serve as important reference points on issues such as competitiveness, productivity, innovation, the quality of education, labour market performance, and fiscal sustainability. Through its participation in the work of the OECD, Hungary not only gains access to international experience but is also able to present its own solutions and regional perspectives. A particular emphasis is placed on ensuring that work carried out within the OECD framework supports practical policy-making and takes into account differing economic and social conditions.
Within UNESCO, Hungary primarily engages in the areas of education, science, and culture. For Hungary, these fields are not abstract values but foundations of national identity, social cohesion, and long-term development capacity. Hungary possesses a rich historical, cultural, and scientific heritage, the preservation and transmission of which is a shared responsibility. Work within the UNESCO framework provides an opportunity to make these values visible at the international level, while Hungary contributes to strengthening quality education, scientific cooperation, and the protection of cultural heritage. Hungary’s objective is to represent a consistent and professionally credible position in these areas.
The Permanent Representation of Hungary to the OECD and UNESCO serves as a bridge between the international organisations, national institutions, and professional and scientific communities. Its role is to facilitate the flow of information, support cooperation, and present the main directions and results of Hungary’s engagement. The work of the Representation is guided by professionalism, transparency, and long-term thinking.
We trust that this website will provide useful and objective information for all those interested in Hungary’s role in the work of the OECD and UNESCO, and that it will contribute to the further development of mutually beneficial professional cooperation.

Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary
