On the occasion of Hungary's national day on August 20th, the American Embassy in Budapest has released a statement with the congratulations sent from Washington, D.C. to the Hungarian people by US Secretary of State, John Kerry.

'The country – together as one!' was the motto given by the new government to this year’s celebrations of the national holiday of August 20th, when the country remembers the founder of the state, King Stephen I and traditionally, this is the time when new bread is baked from newly harvested wheat.
