United Diaspora Africans Community Hungary visits Deen of African Diplomats 

In furtherance of its mission and vision, the United African Diaspora Hungary met with the Deen of African Diplomats in her office situated at the Angolan embassy in uptown Budapest on Tuesday October 10.

The meeting took place at the embassy boardroom and it was centred on how to forge a mutual relationship, partnership and cooperation between the organisation and the African representatives otherwise known as Diplomats.

The highlight of the moment was when the organisation presented its programme of activities to her Excellency, Liszth Satumbo Pena, who accepted it with a smile.

The founders of the organisation took turn to explain the main reason for the visit while Pena was rapt with attention. 

The current president of the organisation, Raymond Irambo, said that the organisation is speeding its activities to those who matter in the society therefore the need to formally introduce themselves.

“We are here officially to introduce ourselves to you,” Irambo said, adding that the organisation needs African embassies’ long term collaboration, partnership, support and advice because of their highly placed position. 

In his own contribution, the vice-president, Venance stated that one of the visions of the organisation is to coordinate the minority citing the example of African children born in Hungary who do not know their origin. 

He said: “Africans came here long time ago. There are 3-4 generations of Africans in Hungary and the United Diaspora Africans Hungary wants to reach out to these children as well as the generations coming. 

Furthermore, United Diaspora Africans Hungary wants to act as a bridge between Africa and Hungary in order to know more about African value. Not only that. It is also part of its activities to integrate migrants into Hungarian society through sports and cultural activities. 

In her response, Pena agreed that the initiative is a good one but quickly added that it does not depend on her alone. She said there are so many problems and challenges. “It’s not easy but yes, we can,”
