Hungary PM Orbán asks China to support anti-terror efforts of EU
The PM has made the appeal during today’s summit in the city of Suzhou.
Orbán travelled to China to attend the summit of Heads of State and Government of China and Central Eastern European countries held in Suzhou and Beijing.
China’s Prime Miniseter Li Keqiang will meet 16 European leaders (not only from EU countries). The fourth leaders' meeting of China and the CEE countries is to be held in east China's Suzhou city on Tuesday and Wednesday, under the theme of "New beginning, New fields, New vision."
Orbán will hold bilateral meetings with his Chinese counterpart, and according to current plans, with the Premiers of Montenegro and Lithuania.
Orbán will meet the leaders of Bank of China, and will also pay a visit to the Beijing International Studies University.
About a thousand businessmen will meet at the forum from China, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia and Slovenia.
The Bank of China (BOC) opened a regional center in Budapest in December 2014 and that the People's Bank of China has recently designated the Budapest branch of BOC as the region's renminbi clearing center. Budapest has become the fifth European clearing center for the Chinese currency, the yuan, following London, Paris, Frankfurt, and Luxembourg.
In late June 2011, Orbán and his Chinese counterpart Wen Jiabao signed a dozen bilateral agreements, during an official visit of the Chinese Premier to Budapest. The deals included a EUR 1 billion loan, the purchase of Hungarian debt, economic, military and cultural co-operation and the setting up of a regional logistics centre.
In May 2012, the two countries signed a series of investment and co-operative agreements, in the area of telecommunications, agriculture, infrastructure and finance. Orbán said besides a one billion euro credit line agreement (between China Development Bank and Hungarian Development Bank MFB) China has also opened sources worth several billions of euros for Hungary.
