American Hungarian Federation has follow-up meeting with Ambassador Colleen Bell - December 3, 2015
During his stay in Budapest, Mr. Koszorus also met with United States Ambassador Colleen Bell. The purpose of the meeting was to follow up on AHF’s November 4, 2015 letter toAmbassador Bell in whichAHF suggested that U.S. interests – promotion of democracy and human rights, strategic and economic -- may not always be served by public criticisms which are perceivedby the man-on-the-street in Hungary, whether a supporter of the government or not, to be demeaning and humiliating. The meeting also continued AHF’s constructive dialogue with Ambassador Bell regarding strengthening good U.S-Hungarian relations and the foundations of those relations.
“Ambassador Bell was more than gracious and we explored various possible initiatives to advance better U.S./Hungarian relations, which is in the interest of both countries and certainly of great concern to AHF and the Hungarian American community,” reflected Mr. Koszorus. “Ambassador Bell effectively and with great poise represents the United States and pursues this important goal,” he concluded.
