Prime Minister Viktor Orban has sent a greeting letter to former Head of Government Gyula Horn, on the occasion of his 80th birthday.

The full text of the letter:

Dear Prime Minister,

All leaders sworn to serve the public have a duty to express their appreciation for the achievements of their predecessors, because promoting the nation is only possible through cooperation, with successive generations joining forces. We are, first of all, Hungarians, and pursue the nation's prosperity through our faith and with the best of our knowledge; therefore the things that connect us will always outnumber any divisions.
Let me join your family, relatives and friends in wishing you good health.
I wish you a happy 80th birthday.

Viktor Orban Prime Minister

Budapest, July 5, 2012.
Yours sincerely,
