The third batch of China's Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccines that Hungary had purchased arrived in Budapest on Wednesday, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Peter Szijjarto confirmed on his Facebook page.

"Another 100,000 Chinese vaccines arrived from Beijing on Wednesday," Szijjarto said in a video posted on his page. He added that the Chinese vaccines arrived 43 days earlier than the agreed upon deadline, allowing people in the country to get vaccinated earlier.
