Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, in Beijing on Sunday taking part in the third Belt and Road summit, held talks with Chinese leaders, the PM’s press chief said in a statement.
Orbán also previously addressed two such summits held in 2017 and 2019, the statement noted, adding that Hungary is committed to long-term cooperation in the future.
China is Hungary’s ninth top trading partner as well as its largest foreign direct investor, with companies of Chinese ownership employing close to 20,000 people in the country.
Orbán met counterpart Li Qiang and President Xi Jinping, and he is scheduled to meet the heads of the largest Chinese companies and banks, the statement added.
We wrote HERE that the Chinese megaproject of updating the Belgrade-Budapest international railway is in big trouble and Orbán would like to discuss its continuation with Xi Jinping during his visit. And HERE is another one about why Chinese battery plants may never start operation.

So what exactly did we sign up for, in this Belgrade-Budapest international railway line?
We will not know key details of the project until 2030, since our Politicians decided to classify the details of the construction for 10 years… Mr. Mészáros is unlikely to complain, though!
