My journey from Kyiv led to the #Vatican, where, among others, I discussed three important matters with @Pontifex.
1. Our primary topic was the #war. We agreed to work together to achieve a long-term, sustainable #peace as soon as possible. We also discussed what we can do together to ensure that the #children abducted from Ukraine can return home.
2. We are allies in standing up for traditional #family values and protecting children.
3. We also talked with the Holy Father about his trip to 🇭🇺 #Hungary in April, which clearly indicates that the papal visit was not a one-time event but that it impacts lasting generations.
I wish to express my profound gratitude to my sister, Your Excellency, @KatalinNovak_HU, President of the Republic of Hungary, for honoring us with a visit to Tanzania. It has been a great pleasure to host you and you are very much welcome in Tanzania. Our bilateral meeting have been very productive with discussions around a wide range of issues of common interest and mutual benefit of our two countries and people.
We have reaffirmed our commitment to enhance cooperation between our two countries in the identified strategic areas. It is my firm conviction that the outcome of this working visit will lead to a stronger, closer and more dynamic relation between Tanzania and Hungary.
I hope you will have a comfortable stay and unforgettable experience while visiting our tourist destinations in Ngorongoro, Arusha and various places in Moshi, Kilimanjaro. Ahsante na Karibu sana Tanzania.
My visit to #Africa has concluded. I thank @PaulKagame and @SuluhuSamia, and the wonderful people of #Rwanda🇷🇼and #Tanzania🇹🇿for their amazing welcome. Exchange programmes, #investments, strengthening relations – these were on our plates. And #womenempowerment. As I said at @WomenDeliver #WD2023, we need to help #women so they could choose #family and #career at the same time if they want, and we also need more women in public life. Criticise this, but that’s what I will continue to stand up for.
Following the welcome ceremony at Urugwiro Village, President Kagame and President Novák held discussions with members of their respective delegations on strengthening bilateral cooperation for the mutual benefits of both nations.
I welcome that following our fruitful discussion, @PaulKagame (@UrugwiroVillage) has decided, that #Rwanda will open a diplomatic mission in #Hungary. It is another step towards strengthening the relationship between 🇭🇺and🇷🇼. #Rwanda#GatetoAfrica
Gergely Ekler, the HO of the Sándor Palace, and Valér Palkovits, DD for Foreign Aff., received Min. Michael Tibollo today at the Presidential Office, where they held discussions regarding the 🇭🇺Heritage Month and the upcoming V. Budapest Demographic Summit to be held in September
I thank the beloved Hungarian people for their welcome and the affection I have experienced in these days. I entrust all Hungarians to Our Lady. Grateful for these days, I keep you in my heart and ask you to pray for me. Isten áld meg a magyart!
On the eve of the Day of 🇭🇺 Culture we not only celebrate the birth of our national anthem but that Veszprém is the EU Capital of Culture. We celebrate our common #European#culture where each nation is a unique tone at the🇪🇺concert. It’s great to launch #VEB2023 with @Ured_PRH🇭🇷
Great to have welcomed an EU&NATO ally, the President of #Croatia 🇭🇷Zoran Milanovic at an official visit in #Budapest. 🇭🇺&🇭🇷 are strategic partners, both of us are #pragmatists & share similar views on the war in 🇺🇦, on energy diversification and on sovereignty of nation states.
Hungary 🇭🇺has been supporting Ukraine 🇺🇦 on bilateral level. Today I announced in #Kyiv that we financially support the #GrainFromUkraine initiative, because we #Hungarians have a strong affiliation to life and survival, know perfectly the importance of being in #solidarity.
🇭🇺🇮🇱Hungary and #Israel are strong strategic partners and maintain ever close bilateral ties. I had a productive meeting with 🇮🇱 President @Isaac_Herzog. Thank you for the friendly welcome and looking forward to seeing you in Hungary soon.
