Arab Cultural Day in Budapest: a great cultural and diplomatic event – PHOTOS

The new Museum of Ethnography hosted the Arab Cultural Day, with 14 Arab countries. 

The event was opened by László Kövér, Speaker of the Hungarian Parliament, who drew the audience’s attention to Hungarian relations with the Arab world and culture, and highlighted that Arab-Hungarian relations date back to the pre-Hungarian founding of the state.

Karima Kabbaj, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Morocco to Hungary and President of the Council of Arab Ambassadors, said that culture played a key role in cooperation between people and in the maintenance of their long-term relations. The Hungarian and Arab cultures have long been linked and live in the greatest harmony, added Karima Kabbaj, who thanked the Hungarian government for its stance on Arab affairs, especially in the resolution of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and for the scholarships it had granted to Arab students.
