Hungary's PM Orbán Welcomes New Links With China
Hungary supports proposed EU free trade agreements with the US and Japan and favours as much free trade between Europe and China as possible, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán declared at the China-East Central Europe summit in Bucharest on Tuesday.

Europeans cannot exit the crisis without building free trade agreements and broader trade co-operation, he added.

“We must think in a different way,” he said, “the world has changed and will never be the same as before the crisis, and China will play a defining role in this new world”.

Orbán told reporters that Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang and he agreed to boost food exports and prepare more Chinese investment projects in Budapest.
