Prime Minister Viktor Orbán received Amiad Cohen, Director General of Tikvah Fund Israel, at the Carmelite Monastery (now the seat of the Prime Minister) on Thursday, Bertalan Havasi, the Prime Minister’s press chief, told MTI.
The conservative leader arrived in Hungary at the invitation of the Association of Hungarian Jewish Communities (EMIH), but his visit was also aimed at familiarizing himself with the work of Mathias Corvinus Collegium (MCC) and strengthening Hungarian-Israeli right-wing relations in the fields of education and publishing.
The meeting between Viktor Orbán and Amiad Cohen was also attended by Balázs Orbán, the Prime Minister’s Political Director and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of MCC, said Bertalan Havasi.
Tikvah Fund is a conservative, Manhattan-based non-profit foundation supporting Israel and Jewish conservatives. Its Israeli affiliate, Tikvah Fund Israel, focuses on creating conservative-minded education, translating books, and nurturing the next generation of conservative politicians.
