Representatives of Hungary and the United States signed an agreement on Tuesday on bilateral data exchange seeking to help identify terrorists, Hungarian News Agency MTI reported.
The agreement - a prerequisite for Hungary's exemption from U.S. visa requirements - was signed by Gyorgy Szilvasy, the minister in charge of Hungary's civilian secret services, and U.S. Ambassador to Hungary April H. Foley in Budapest.
Szilvasy said after the signing ceremony that the agreement was still to be officially approved by parliament, but all five political parties were likely to support it.
Foley said that her country's approval for Hungary to participate in the visa-free program was expected in October, which means that Hungarian citizens will no longer be required to hold entry visas when visiting the United States.
