Celebrating the golden anniversary of Malaysia-Hungary relations

Diplomatic relations between Malaysia and Hungary were established 50 years ago in 1969. It was the year I was born. It is therefore very meaningful for me, as the 7th Malaysian Ambassador to Hungary, to witness the golden anniversary of friendly relations between the two nations.

As a tribute to the 50 years of friendship, the Embassy of Malaysia in Budapest had organised an exhibition themed “Malaysia-Hungary: Five Decades of Diplomatic Relations” at the National Szechenyi Library, Hungary’s main national library founded in 1802.
