Hungary-China alliance example of harmonic cultural cooperation, says MTVA CEO

The historical alliance between Hungary and China is a “shining example” of harmonic cooperation between cultures, Dániel Papp, the CEO of Hungary’s Media Service Support and Asset Management Fund (MTVA), said in Budapest late on Wednesday, addressing an event celebrating the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Papp said the cooperation between MTVA, which provides public media services in Hungary, and China Media Group promotes dialogue between the two nations and could support further opportunities for cooperation.

He said the sides would sign a cooperation agreement on the occasion and noted the premiere of documentary films produced by the Chinese partner to air on Hungarian public media’s cultural channel.

The exchange of content between the two companies is a bridge between the two countries that overcomes all geographical distance, he added.

China Media Group president Shen Haixiong said ties between China and Hungary had become “richer and more colourful” in recent years and pointed to a closer friendship, especially between younger generations.
