The Hungarian Government decided to contribute € 1 - € 1 million to the humanitarian mission of the two churches after patriarchs III. Joseph Younan and II. Ephrem’s visit to Budapest in early 2007.
During his trip, Tamás Török met with Paul Karam, Chairman of the Caritas Lebanon, Rafael Koupaly, pastor of the Iraqi Chaldean refugees, and Naim Gharbi, the rector of the Melkita Seminar.
