President Tamás Sulyok personally congratulated Pope Leo XIV on the beginning of his Petrine ministry.

Following today's inaugural Mass at the Vatican, which the Head of State attended as head of the Hungarian delegation, the Holy Father greeted the heads of the delegations, including the President of Hungary, with a handshake.

Tamás Sulyok exchanged a few words with Pope Leo. The President asked the Holy Father to visit Hungary as soon as possible.
The Head of State extended the invitation in the hope that the Bishop of Rome will visit the entire Hungarian community, just as his predecessor Pope Francis did.
