The 75th anniversary of the establishment of China-Hungary diplomatic relations is “crucial”, because Hungary was among the first countries to recognize the People's Republic of China in 1949, “which reflects the friendship between the two peoples”, said Peter Medgyessy, former Hungarian Prime Minister, in a recent interview.

这位匈牙利前总理进一步指出，2017年，匈中两国领导人发表声明，将双边关系提升为全面战略伙伴关系，意味着两国友好关系历久弥坚，也意味着匈牙利将在中欧关系中发挥突出作用。他认为，这“非常令人鼓舞，将会开辟一个美好的未来”。

Medgyessy also believes that China will bring broad prospects to the world politics and the world economy. That’s why the two countries, which share a history of solid friendship, should take a joint hand.

Medgyessy shared his honor to be the icebreaker and promoter of bilateral cooperation of the two countries in 2002, and he was “particularly happy” to see that the two countries signed the agreement in 2017 to upgrade diplomatic relations. In his view, it means that Hungary will play a vital role in China's relations with Europe.
