Sino-Hungarian bonds 'getting closer and closer'

China Daily  

Balazs Orban, political director of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, said that relations between Hungary and China are "very good "and "the two countries are getting closer and closer". Under the leadership of President Xi and Prime Minister Orban, the political director said that Chinese-Hungarian relations are "flourishing" based on pragmatic and win-win cooperation. Balazs Orban said he believes the European Union should also work like this with the rest of the world to boost mutual trust and seek practical economic cooperation, clearly referring to the growing tensions in EU-China relations. "We try to do everything to convince our European partners that if Europe wants to play an important role in the 21st century, we have to find a way based on mutual respect with the rest of the world, including China," said Balazs Orban, who is also a member of the National Assembly, the Hungarian parliament.
