Orbán government preparing to take out another loan from China?
Change language:
National Economy Minister Márton Nagy met with China Development Bank President Tan Jiong on Friday, his ministry said.
The sides discussed joint projects Hungary and China are undertaking in the areas of infrastructure, energy, digitalisation and e-mobility. They also exchanged views on deepening the sovereign financial cooperation in the Chinese-Hungarian Cooperation Framework.
Nagy said ties between Hungary and China, including in the areas of financing cooperation, had “never been better”. Hungary strives to establish economic ties based on mutual respect that benefit all sides, and China and Chinese financial institutions are very important partners in that endeavour, he added.
He acknowledged China’s strengthening role in global financing and the country’s increasing weight in global investments. Hungary has become the number one destination for Chinese investments in Central and Eastern Europe, and the country aims to enhance its role as a bridge for capital, know-how and technology from the East and the West, he added.
“Someday, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me.” “Thank you Godfather for another loan for my bankrupt country”.
