Hungarian President talks about demographic ice age

Hungary’s president met Shaikha Fatima bint Mubarak, the mother of the president of the United Arab Emirates, Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, on Saturday.

Shaikha Fatima bint Mubarak is well-known and respected for her humanitarian activity in the Emirates. Her foundation supports health-care, education and welfare institutions.

Katalin Novak and Shaikha Fatima bint Mubarak agreed on the importance of families and the need to support families, “which form the basis of society”, the president’s office said on Saturday.

In connection with demographic issues, Novak recalled her address given at the climate summit on Friday, when she spoke about how the family was not the problem was the solution to climate change. Novak said that in her opinion, climate change, poverty, inequality, biological diversity, water and “the demographic ice age” could only be tackled together. “We must protect the Earth for our children,” she said.

Novak addressed the UN Climate Change Conference (COP28) in Dubai on Friday before conducting bilateral talks with Cypriot president Nikos Christodoulides, Vietnamese PM Pham Minh Chinh, Mongolian president Uhnagin Hurelszuh, King of Bahrain Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, Polish president Andrzej Duda and Italian PM Giorgia Meloni, among others.

On Saturday, the Hungarian president will attend the national holiday of the United Arab Emirates. December 2, the anniversary of the unification of Abu Dhabi, Dubai and the other emirates is being celebrated with fireworks and other spectacles.
