Hungary's President arrives in Wellington this afternoon for a four-day visit.

Janos Ader and his wife Anita Herczegh will also visit Auckland, Waikato and the Bay of Plenty.

New Zealand became home to 1100 Hungarian refugees after its revolution 60 years ago, and Prime Minister John Key says they have contributed much to New Zealand life. 

The President will lay a wreath for Hungarian refugees tonight, before heading to a function for members of the Hungarian community.
