The Hungarian Ambassador, Mr. Zsolt Mészáros, expressed his gratitude for this opportunity to present his credentials in Kinshasa. He underlined the importance of bilateral relations between Hungary and the DRC, highlighting initiatives such as the granting of scholarships to young Congolese by Budapest. With the opening of a diplomatic post in Kinshasa in 2023, Hungary demonstrates its commitment to strengthening ties with the DRC.

With experience in foreign affairs and diplomacy, she wishes to contribute to the development of relations between Denmark and the DRC. Her expertise in political science and her career within the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs make her an ambassador committed to strengthening ties between the two countries.
