Chinese President Xi Jinping pays a state visit to Hungary from May 8 to 10 as both countries mark the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties. With at least 16 bilateral agreements being slated ahead of Xi's visit, relations face important new opportunities and will be pushed to a higher level. CMG's Zou Yun sat down with Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó to discuss Hungary's economic, trade and cultural ties with China as well as flagship projects under construction such as the China-built Belgrade-Budapest railway. "We are great fans of the Belt and Road Initiative," Szijjártó admits, saying that Hungary adopts an independent policy and refuting the concept of "de-risking" with China bandied about in the West. Szijjártó also looks forward to reaping the dividends of the China-Hungary partnership on EVs and green technology and rejects the allegations about China's "overcapacity."
