Centenary of British-Hungarian diplomatic ties celebrated in London – VIDEO

The 100th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the United Kingdom and Hungary were celebrated in London on Monday evening.

Prince Charles addressed the reception held in the Hungarian embassy in a video message, sending his best wishes to President János Áder and the Hungarian people in Hungarian. Hopefully Hungary would do its part in tackling the dual crisis caused by climate change and the erosion of biodiversity, he said.

The UK is home to the largest Hungarian-born community outside the Carpathian Basin, he noted. Chain Bridge in Budapest, he added, handily symbolised the ties of friendship between the two peoples.

Charles noted that his father, the late Prince Philip, had visited Hungary three times, taking part in various equestrian contests. He also referred to Queen Elizabeth’s visit to Hungary in 1993 in recognition of Hungary’s change of political system in 1989.
