Hungary’s President, Katalin Novák, is scheduled to arrive in Tanzania today to commence her three-day visit to the country from July 17 to July 20, 2023.
During her visit, Ms. Novák will have a meeting with her host, President Samia Suluhu Hassan, on July 18, 2023, at the State House in Dar es Salaam, as announced by the State House’s Directorate of Presidential Communications.
Zuhura Yunus, the Director of Presidential Communications, highlighted the positive relationship between Tanzania and Hungary, particularly in the field of education. Hungary has sponsored numerous Tanzanian students, supporting their pursuit of bachelor’s degrees, master’s degrees, and PhDs in various disciplines such as science, engineering, mathematics, and communication.
The diplomatic and economic ties between Tanzania and Hungary have been strong since the 1980s, although they experienced a decline in recent years. However, the relations are now on the path to recovery and regaining their previous strength.
During her time in Tanzania, President Novák will also have the opportunity to visit various attractions in the Arusha region. Her departure from Tanzania is scheduled for July 20, 2023, with her return journey to Hungary via Kilimanjaro International Airport.
Katalin Novák, at the age of 45, was elected as the President of the Republic of Hungary last year. She is not only the youngest president in the country’s history but also the first woman to hold this esteemed office.
