Orbán: China’s advocating peace crucial
“China’s advocating peace across the world is important for Hungarians,” Orbán said on Monday in Beijing, where he met Chinese President Xi Jinping.
“Hungarians are a peace-loving people striving for peace, balance, and harmony, therefore we are always on the side of peace and never war,” the prime minister said. “China’s urging that there should be peace rather than war in the world is of great significance for us,” he said.
“With regard to the conflict in Hungary’s neighbourhood, we also greatly appreciate your peace initiative,” Orbán said, addressing his remark to the Chinese president.
Orbán called Xi’s visit to Hungary two months ago of historic significance and noted the weighty agreements they had signed. “What is more, the foundations were laid for the two peoples’ friendship for several generations … Xi’s visit was convincing and cordial, and reflected China’s goodwill and respect for Hungary,” he said.
“Generations will benefit from that visit, from the memories of the visit you paid to Budapest,” Orbán said, and thanked Xi for his efforts to elevate bilateral ties to a higher level.
“We have been working for the past two months to fill that framework with substance,” Orbán said, noting that the two countries’ delegations had been making progress inn cooperation.
Orbán congratulated Xi on “the stability China means for the world amid stormy global politics”.
Szijjártó: Hungary-China cooperation ‘solid foundation’ for Hungary’s economic growth
Hungary’s economic, trade and investment cooperation with China will provide a “solid foundation” for the country’s economic growth in the coming years, Péter Szijjártó said in Beijing on Monday.
He welcomed that China’s leaders supported the further development of that cooperation, adding that Chinese companies at the forefront of the car industry revolution would continue to bring investments to Hungary, the foreign ministry quoted Szijjártó as saying.
Chinese leaders also support a further increase in the number of Chinese tourists coming to visit Hungary and back the presence of even more Hungarian food products on the Chinese market, he added.
Chinese companies have 6,400 billion forints (EUR 16bn) worth of investments under way, creating 25,000 jobs directly and “turning Hungary into one of the world-class centres of the global automotive revolution and technological renewal.”

While russian servants Orban and Szijjarto flit around warbling about ‘peace’ …. russia bombs a children’s hospital in Kyiv….
russia broke the peace and russia can easily restore peace…. but russia wants war and Orban and Szijjarto want to help russia destroy Ukraine.
Peace in the Ukraine will be achieved easily, Viktor needs to ask his master , Vladimir, to withdraw his troops from the Ukraine.
Orban’s ally Putin just bombed a children’s hospital in Kyiv. Will the fat man have an ounce of morality to bring himself to condemn this war crime as PM Meloni just did in Italy? Fidesz’s only goal has been to deprive Ukraine with the means to defend themselves to the utter shame of Hungarians for years to come.
Neutrality – impossible for the Prime Minister of Hungary, the President of the European Union – Victor Mihaly. Orban – to act in these “Peace” Missions.
Orban – he carries, to much luggage.
Orban, has positioned Hungary to be a GROWING at a rapid pace, partner with Russia & China.
Orban continues to “enforce” the Distillation of Democracy in Hungary.
We KNOW that in being a Member as is Hungary of the European Union, the distillation process of Democracy in Hungary, has not continues to be, building – which is Un-Welcomed and not Acceptable, by the European Union.
Could the NATO caterers possibly serve Orban something to give him an acute case of diarrhea so he can absent himself from the room when they make their decisions.
The expansion of NATO is the reason for the war.
Breitbart Article June 22/24
“Speaking before the European Parliament in September of 2023, Stoltenberg said: “The background was that President Putin declared in the autumn of 2021, and actually sent a draft treaty that they wanted NATO to sign, to promise no more NATO enlargement. That was what he sent us. And was a pre-condition to not invade Ukraine. Of course, we didn’t sign that.”
Zelensky knew that Russia will attack when Ukraine stopped being a buffer state. The EU, US and UK also understood what would happen if Zelensky went ahead with his plan. The EU, US, UK practically dared Russia to attack. Now Ukraine is decimated and EU, UK, US are still urging Ukraine to fight.
War equals total destruction of infrastructure and total elimination of the enemy. If things will proceed without any attempt at peace, all of Ukraine’s generating stations will be destroyed and the population still alive will starve and freeze.
Well done, Zelensky, US, UK and EU!
ah Maria, quoting from Breitbart, who’s founder just went to jail So you position yourself with rapists, international war criminals and dictators, lovey bunch.
Maria von Theresa: Breitbart promotes US Tanton Network* agitprop; anti-semitic, Islamophobic, anti-Catholic, promotes eugenics and white Christian nationalism while informing right wing parties on immigration and ‘the great replacement’.
*Tanton Network shares donors in the US with Koch Network which includes anti-Ukraine Heritage Foundation, partnered with the Danube Institute….
Nice people, but nonetheless Orban’s appalling timing to go on tour in promoting ‘peace’ or view himself as a ‘statesman’, and then Putin insults him; great for Hungary’s reputation and its ‘sovereignty’, not.
