Hungarian Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany said that The Hungarian Season, slated to be held in nine Chinese cities between September 2007 and April 2008, is an important milestone for the further development of bilateral relations.
In a recent exclusive interview with Xinhua prior to his visit to China starting on Sunday, Gyurcsany said The Hungarian Season in China is one of a series of events organized to showcase the potential economic cooperation opportunities Hungary has and the country''s cultural and tourism resources.
"Our key objective is to introduce Hungary and bring her closer to the Chinese audience, particularly the business community, and to show that Hungary, with its open economy, extraordinary geographical location, well-developed infrastructure and European Union (EU) membership, can be an important partner for China to invest and promote tourism in the long term," he said, adding that the key element of The Hungarian Season is economic and business events enriched by tourism, gastronomy and cultural programs.
Speaking of the future of the Hungarian-Chinese relations, the prime minister said the ties between both countries are excellent and have reached the highest level in their 50-year history. He said the Hungarian government considers its relations with Asia, particularly China, to be very important. In 2003, the government formulated a comprehensive concept for developing relations with the Asia-Pacific region including the Far East and East Asia, and China is among the countries of prior concern in this concept.
