Northern (N): Hungary (NH). Annual Review for 1963

1964

A file containing the annual review of Hungary for 1963, written by the British ambassador in Budapest, along with associated documents. Sir Ivor Pink, the ambassador, notes that progress had been made in Hungary's aim of moving on from the 1956 uprising; that there was evidence of liberalisation in Hungary's domestic policies and foreign relations, including the granting of an amnesty to some prisoners; and that living standards were gradually rising. It is further noted that elections had been held, with vigorous campaigning; that the harvest had suffered from poor weather, resulting in the need to import grain; that Hungarian relations with the United States were slowly improving; and that Anglo-Hungarian relations had been good, despite the British refusal to accept an ambassador whom the Hungarian government had nominated to serve in London. The file also contains a calendar of events for the year.
