His Excellency Mr Kimura Tetsuya, the Ambassador of Japan to Hungary, took part in a highly positive and constructive meeting with the leadership of the Hungarian Dance University (HDU). Japan is a key partner for the university, as a significant portion of its international students come from East Asia.
In recent years, many outstanding Japanese ballet artists have graduated from the Hungarian Dance University, spreading the institution’s reputation worldwide through their professional engagements and showcasing the excellence of Hungarian university-level dance education.
This highlighted the importance of the visit by His Excellency Mr Kimura Tetsuya, the Ambassador of Japan to Hungary, who was welcomed by the leadership of the Hungarian Dance University including Rector Professor Márta Fodor-Molnár, Vice-Rector Magdolna Salát, Head of Institute Szilárd Macher, DLA, and International Coordinator Nikolett Áder. The meeting was also attended by First Secretary and Head of the Cultural Department at the Embassy Takeshi Ozaki, and Assistant of the Cultural Department Sachiko Győri.
The university’s rector was pleased to inform the ambassador that over 20 Japanese students are currently enrolled at the institution. Mr Kimura Tetsuya toured the university and discussed various topics with the leadership, including the Budapest Ballet Grand Prix, an international ballet competition in which Japanese students have traditionally performed exceptionally well.
