Budapest's Chain Bridge will display Polish and Hungarian national colors on Polish-Hungarian Friendship Day, according to an announcement from Sándor Palace, the office of the Hungarian President of the Republic.
On March 23, the countries' respective flags will line the bridge "in commemoration of the centuries-old friendship and alliance between Hungary and Poland" in accordance with a decision of President of the Republic, Tamás Sulyok, the statement said.
Common respect for tradition in the Hungarian and Polish peoples, the desire for freedom and Christian values and intertwined history were at the heart of the two countries' friendship, it added.
In 2007, Hungary's and Poland's parliaments declared March 23 a holiday of friendly relations between the two peoples, and commemorations are held alternately in a city in each of the two countries every year.
This year, Tamás Sulyok will participate in the festive event of the Polish-Hungarian Friendship Day in Przemysl together with the Polish President Karol Nawrocki, the statement noted.
