The Prime Minister highlighted that the Chinese foreign minister rarely came to visit, especially on a tour of Europe, and therefore at times like this, the parties must discuss strategic issues and must also review specific bilateral affairs.
Regarding investments, there are seven or eight major projects which are currently being implemented by Chinese companies. In the past few years, more than 30 per cent of investments from China have come to Hungary; a considerable percentage of Chinese working capital within the European Union is in Hungary, and at that, in modern industries, he recalled.
There are plants we have built which will start operation shortly. But there are another six or seven which are in progress and which must be continuously supported and reinforced, Mr Orbán said.
The caption posted with the video statement reads: “Hungarian-Chinese partnership. While Europe is rapidly losing its competitiveness and is downgrading its relations with China, we have several legs to stand on and are continuously developing our economic cooperation.”
