Menczer: Govt partner in promoting rights of Hungarians abroad

Starting a two-day visit to Miercurea Ciuc (Csikszereda), in central Romania, on Thursday, foreign ministry state secretary Tamas Menczer told journalists that Hungary's government would "always be a partner" in preserving and expanding the acquired rights of Hungarians abroad. During his visit, Menczer will hand over donations to a local foundation for orphaned children and meet the mayors of Szekler Land. On Friday, the state secretary's programme will include an oath-taking ceremony by Hungarians granted Hungarian citizenship under the government's dual citizenship scheme, and talks with local organisers of a visit by Pope Francis scheduled for early June. Menczer will then deliver a lecture at the Sapientia Hungarian University and visit the Szekler Football Academy.
