Young American Political Leaders Visit Embassy Before Trip To Hungary

A group of the American Council of Young Political Leaders (ACYPL) members visited the Embassy of Hungary on Friday, September 18, just before their upcoming trips to Hungary and Romania. Ambassador Béla Szombati welcomed the guests, gave an elaborate overview of the current Hungarian political, economic and cultural situation, and answered their questions about Hungary and Hungarians in general.
