Bolstering China ties will benefit EU: Hungarian envoy

China Daily  

When Mate Pesti first came to China to study in 2007, he anticipated a decade or even a century where China's rapid socioeconomic rise would position it as a dominant global power. Today, as Hungary's ambassador to China, Pesti sees that vision unfolding and believes that strengthening cooperation with China will benefit not only Hungary but also the entire European Union. Hungary was one of the first countries to recognize the People's Republic of China on Oct 4, 1949, and just two days later, on Oct 6, the two countries established diplomatic relations.

In recent years, Hungary has become an increasingly popular destination for Chinese tourists, with 21 direct flights per week connecting Budapest to seven Chinese cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an in Northwest China's Shaanxi province and Guangzhou in South China's Guangdong province.
