The government will discuss by the end of November a Tokaj world heritage programme to support developments in the region's 27 municipalities, head of the Prime Minister's Office Janos Lazar said on Wednesday.
Lazar spoke at the foundation ceremony of a 1.5-billion-forint storage facility and processing hall for state-owned winemaker Tokaj Kereskedohaz in Tolcsva.
The state secretary said that Tokaj, among Hungary's 22 wine-growing regions, was of key importance for the government, to be promoted through both legal and financial means.
The government is committed to maintaining the high standards of wine making in the region and is working to make Tokaji recognised as a "truly world quality wine", Lazar said.
The Tokaj wine-growing region is included in UNESCO's World Heritage List.
