President's visit a boost for China-Hungary ties
China DailyStudents practice martial arts at the Hungarian-Chinese Bilingual School in Budapest on Feb 24 last year. Bank of China Central and Eastern Europe Ltd, based in Budapest, has been making donations to the bilingual school for many years to help build its language lab, provide sports facilities, conduct Chinese language summer camps and reward students and teachers for excellence. She said the cooperation between the Capital Normal University and the bilingual school is "very good". "The students are quite interested in learning the Chinese language," said Wang, also a Chinese language teacher and a fluent Hungarian speaker who interpreted for China Daily during the interview with Erdelyi, who spoke Hungarian. "The increasing numbers of Chinese language learners in Hungary and Hungarian students studying in China reflect the growing interest and appreciation for each other's culture and traditions," said Csizmadia Norbert, external director of Bank of China Central and Eastern Europe Ltd. Erdelyi has visited China several times since her first visit in 2007, just a year before the Beijing Olympics.
