The Embassy of Hungary in the Philippines, led by the indefatigable Ambassador of Hungary József Bencze, held its National Day Celebration and Cultural Performance at Fairmont Makati Hotel.
Distinguished members of the government, diplomatic, business and social sectors gathered together to commemorate this auspicious day through cultural performances, both Hungarian and Filipino.
Hungary is a long time-partner of the Philippines, having established diplomatic relations 46 years ago and reopening its Embassy in Manila in 2017. The two countries’ relations are dynamically increasing in scope and intensity, with steadily growing bilateral trade and investments, a healthy exchange of cultural activities and vibrant education cooperation.
Hungary provides 35 fully funded scholarships to Filipino students each year to Hungarian higher education institutions. Congratulations to the Embassy of Hungary in the Philippines for a successful celebration!
