Hungarian & Polish President To Celebrate Hungarian-Polish Friendship
Hungarian President János Áder will meet his Polish counterpart, Andrzej Duda, who is paying an official two-day visit to Veszprém, Hungary to celebrate Hungarian-Polish friendship.

The two heads of state marked the occasion of Polish-Hungarian friendship day in the city of Veszprém, in western Hungary, on Friday afternoon, the president’s office said in a statement.

A joint press conference was held at the Veszprém Town Hall followed.

On Saturday morning, the two presidents took part in a festive mass at St. Michael’s Cathedral.

The Polish head of state was accompanied by his wife, Agata Kornhauser-Duda.

The first day of Hungarian-Polish friendship was celebrated a decade ago following a 2006 initiative by Lech Kaczyński, Poland’s president at the time, and László Sólyom, his Hungarian counterpart.

March 23 was declared the day of that friendship by both countries’ parliaments in 2007.
