Budapest, February 12 (Xinhua) — Beijing highly appreciates Budapest's friendly policy and is willing to continue to jointly support each other in protecting the legitimate rights and interests. This was stated on Wednesday by visiting Politburo member of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi at a meeting with Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó.
Pointing to the traditional friendship between China and Hungary, he stressed that under the strategic guidance of their leaders, the two countries maintain mutual respect, equality and win-win cooperation, and have established an all-weather comprehensive strategic partnership in the new era, which serves as a model for a new type of international relations.
Chinese companies investing and operating in Hungary have effectively contributed to the country's economic development and improved living standards, bringing tangible benefits to the Hungarian people, Wang Yi said.
Facts have proven that Chinese-Hungarian friendship and cooperation fully meet the fundamental interests of Hungary and its people, and are conducive to the healthy development of China-EU relations, he stated. China remains a consistent strategic partner on which Hungary can rely in its national development and renewal, the minister added.
According to Wang Yi, in the 50 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the EU, the rich fruits of cooperation have demonstrated that China is a partner, not a rival, and brings opportunities, not risks.
In turn, P. Szijjártó noted that, despite changes in the international situation, Hungary consistently values friendship, mutual trust, and cooperation with China.
In recent years, Chinese investment in Hungary has repeatedly reached new heights, he stated. According to the minister, these investments have contributed to scientific and technological innovation and economic growth, created numerous jobs, and significantly advanced Hungary's national development.
Hungary supports the Global Governance Initiative put forward by Chinese President Xi Jinping and is ready to strengthen contacts and coordination with China within the UN and other multilateral frameworks, said Péter Szijjártó. Budapest will continue to actively promote the healthy development of EU-China relations, he added.
The parties also exchanged views on the Ukrainian crisis and other international and regional issues of mutual interest. –0–
