New Delhi, October 6 (MTI) - Hungarian Minister of Culture and
Education Istvan Hiller opened a Hungarian cultural and music
festival and held talks on student exchange in India on Saturday.
The three-month series of events began in New Delhi's India
International Center with a concert focussing on works by Zoltan
Kodaly (1882-1967) on Friday evening. The facility also hosts a
memorial exhibition dedicated to the great Hungarian composer and
music teacher on his 125th birth anniversary.
Another exhibition focuses on Hungarian explorers and
researchers who had worked in India.
Hiller held talks with Minister of Tourism and Culture Ambika
Soni and Arjun Singh, Minister of Human Resource Development.
The minister discussed plans to renovate the monastery of Zangla
with Hungarian involvement. The monastery located in what is now
Jammu and Kashmir used to be the workplace of eminent Hungarian Asia
explorer and Orientalist Sandor Korosi Csoma (1784-1842).
