The 8th Session of the Meeting of the Parties (MOP8) to the African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbird Agreement (AEWA) will take place on 26-30 September 2022 in Budapest, Hungary.
World Exhibition opened with Saint Hubertus Service
After the service, the TOTEM statue made from deer antlers in the shape of a rutting stag which will welcome visitors at the entrance of the central venue of the exhibition was inaugurated.
Organisers expect minimum one million visitors from 100 countries to attend the three-week-long series of events.
As prominent events of the weekend, canine and equestrian programmes, falconry and archery displays and a hunting horn championship will be held, while in the afternoons concerts will await visitors.
At the weekend, in addition to the capital, programmes will also be held in Keszthely, Hatvan, Gödöllő and Vásárosnamény.
“As a forum created for nature conservation and hunting, the “One with Nature” Expo achieved internationally significant results, and accordingly the work we have begun is worth continuing from a professional perspective, but also from a social, foreign policy and national image perspective alike”, Mr. Kovács emphasised in Riga.
