The Grand Master, Fra\u2019 John Dunlap received the Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orb\u00e1n, at the Magistral Villa on the Aventine. Grand Chancellor Riccardo Patern\u00f2 di Montecupo and other officials, including H.E. Ambassador Dr. Heinz Hafner, welcomed the Hungarian delegation.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting confirmed the excellent state of relations between Hungary and the Order, where diplomatic relations were established in 1990, testified to by the exchange of numerous official visits and the extensive and fruitful cooperation in the humanitarian field.<\/p>\n<p>The Prime Minister expressed his full support and great appreciation for the activities of the Order\u2019s Association and the Hungarian Relief Service, the largest social organisation in the country, assisting some 13,000 people in almost 150 institutions every day.<\/p>\n<p>As already expressed in the meeting between the Grand Master and Prime Minister Orb\u00e1n in Buda in 2024, the mutual desire to further strengthen cooperation in the social sphere was confirmed. Possibilities for cooperation in third countries through \u201c<em>Hungary Helps<\/em>\u201d, the Hungarian government\u2019s aid program, were also discussed.
