AFRICA DAY 2019

With allusion to May 25 being universally declared as Africa Day, the African Diplomatic Corps in the Republic of Hungary celebrated this day somewhat earlier this year, on May 3, in the imposing Corvinus University.

The established program included a conference on Africa, with the participation of prominent Hungarian academic and political figures, as well as diplomats based in Hungary. The conference was then followed by the cultural activities in the beautiful  Ceremonial Hall: an African fashion show symbolizing the traditional attires of the represented countries, to the sound of their respective typical music. The art exposition showcased colorful handicrafts of each country. Last but not least, it couldn’t have been a truly African event without the usual culinary reception offering delicacies from each participant nation.
