Hungarian govenment highlights importance of Hungarian diaspora
Change language:
Budapest, November 15 (MTI) – As much attention should be paid to Hungarians living in diaspora communities as to other parts of the nation, the state secretary for Hungarian communities abroad said on Tuesday, marking Hungarian Diaspora Day.
Regarding the diaspora, a “paradigm shift” took place in 2010 due to a change in government policy, Árpád János Potápi said in a speech held in the House of Hungarians in Budapest. It declared that Hungarian communities stand on an equal footing wherever they happen to be, and in order to preserve the Hungarian nation as a whole, the survival of each and every member must be supported, he said.
He noted Hungarian government efforts over the past years to provide financing in order to keep organisations and institutions of Hungarian diaspora communities “as fortresses”.
