Hungarian Prime Minister Gyurcsany Ferenc on Tuesday visited east China's Shanghai Municipality and announced the opening of the Hungary Cultural Festival.
The Hungarian prime minister attended a concert jointly performed by the Chinese and Hungarian musicians. The main music for the concert was written by Franz Liszt, world-known Hungarian romanticist musician in the 19th century.
Gyurcsany said he believed the music could bring tender greetings and beautiful joy to Chinese audience from the hometown of Liszt. He hoped Hungarian culture could leave its traces on the streets and in the parks of Chinese cities as well as in the hearts of the Chinese people.
The Hungary Cultural Festival was only part of a series of activities hailing the Hungary Festival which will stretch from September of 2007 to April of 2008. During the Hungary Festival, a number of events will be held to promote Hungarian tourism and bilateral economics and trade.
