Warsaw, April 18 (MTI) – Speaker of the Hungarian parliament László Kövér has received a high Polish state honour during his two-day official visit to Poland on Tuesday.

The commanders’ cross of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland awarded by President Andrzej Duda was presented to the House speaker by Marek Kuchcinski, Marshal of the Sejm.

Kövér, Kuchcinski and Marshal of the Senate Stanislaw Karczewski signed an agreement of strategic partnership earlier on Tuesday.
