First convened in 2004, the aim of the Forum of Hungarian Representatives in the Carpathian Basin (Kárpát-medencei Magyar Képviselők Fóruma – KMKF) is to make cooperation between Hungarian parliamentary parties and representatives of Hungarian communities abroad more systematic and effective at the legislative level. The Forum of Hungarian Representatives in the Carpathian Basin (Kárpát-medencei Magyar Képviselők Fóruma – KMKF) is the addition of the dimension of parliamentary cooperation to the Hungarian Standing Conference (Magyar Állandó Értekezlet – MÁÉRT). The Forum of Hungarian Representatives in the Carpathian Basin (Kárpát-medencei Magyar Képviselők Fóruma – KMKF) is the conciliation forum of the elected representatives of the neighbouring countries in the national or provincial (county) councils and of the Hungarian representatives with a mandate in the European Parliament. Its chairman invites experts from among Hungarians in the diaspora to contribute to the work of the forum. The experts help to achieve the agreed strategic objectives in international forums. The Forum of Hungarian Representatives in the Carpathian Basin (Kárpát-medencei Magyar Képviselők Fóruma – KMKF) has a three-tier organisational structure. The plenary session is convened and chaired by the Speaker of the Hungarian Parliament at least once a year. The Standing Committee is responsible for preparing the agenda of the meetings and for operating the working groups. The third level is the working groups which are the consultation and advisory workshops of the Forum of Hungarian Representatives in the Carpathian Basin (Kárpát-medencei Magyar Képviselők Fóruma – KMKF).
