H.E. Ambassador Katalin Annamária Bogyay was invited to give the keynote speech at the conference held on 7 May 2015 in Budapest, Hungary on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the formation of UN and the 60th anniversary of Hungary’s membership in the organization.
Ambassador Bogyay reminded the audience composed of members of the diplomatic community serving in Hungary and representatives of international organizations present in the country that the UN always mirrored the world „we – member states – created”. She said „there is clearly room for improvement, but we should not forget that the UN still offers us a forum where we can meet and interact with each other, where we can work for bettering the world, while also promoting our respective national priorities”.
Ambassador Bogyay recalled the historical context when Hungary was admitted as a member of the UN on 14 December 1955. In addition, she gave a short overview of the main activities of the Hungarian Mission to the UN and pointed out her specific priorities as the new permanent representative.
