Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday met with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who is in Beijing to attend the Second Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation scheduled for April 25-27.
Noting China and Hungary established a comprehensive strategic partnership in 2017, Xi said that the bilateral relations have entered a new historical stage.
This year marks the 70th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two countries, and China looks forward to working with Hungary to push forward the comprehensive strategic partnership to a new height, Xi said.
The two countries should maintain high-level exchanges, enhance mutual respect and trust, step up practical cooperation and broaden people-to-people and cultural exchanges, he noted.
Xi called on the two sides to implement cooperation projects under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), such as the railway line between Hungary and Serbia.
He hopes that Hungary will play a greater role in promoting cooperation between China and Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs).
The prime minister said Hungary's future largely depends on its relations with China and the country firmly believes that China will play a more active role in the complicated and ever-changing world.
The BRI is not a threat, but an opportunity, said Orban, adding that Hungary firmly supports the initiative and actively participates in Belt and Road construction.
Hungary is willing to promote the overall development of Europe-China relations through the China-CEEC cooperation platform, said Orban.
Also on Thursday, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang met with Orban at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.
China-Hungary relations maintain healthy and stable development, Li said, adding that the two countries have achieved fruitful cooperation outcomes in traditional economic sectors, and enjoyed broad prospects for cooperation in new forms of industry and new economy.
China is willing to align the Belt and Road Initiative with development strategies of Hungary, follow the principle of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, and seek mutual benefits, Li said.
He said China would work with Hungary to promote the financing of projects and ensure that the process of construction will comply with international standards as well as the principle of openness and transparency.
China stands ready to work with Hungary to enhance relations between China and central and eastern European countries as well as China-EU relations, Li said.
Orban said he appreciates the positive role China has played in promoting the modernization of Hungary, and welcomed Chinese businesses to expand investment in Hungary. Hungary will continue to actively participate in the joint building of the Belt and Road, he said.
The two leaders witnessed the signing of bilateral cooperation documents after the meeting.
