We consider a congruence rho on a group G as a subsemigroup of the direct product G x G. It is well known that a relation rho on G is a congruence if and only if there exists a normal subgroup N of G such that rho = {(s, t) : st(-1) is an element of N}. In this paper we prove that if G is a finitely presented group, and if N is a normal subgroup of G with finite index, then the congruence rho = {(s, t) : st(-1) is an element of N} on G is finitely presented.
