Zheng Shanjie emphasized Zhejiang's commitment to positioning itself as a hub, high-quality demonstration zone, and gateway for China-CEEC cooperation. The province seeks to deepen collaboration with CEEC countries in advanced manufacturing, port logistics, business tourism, technological innovation, and green development, aiming to elevate bilateral economic and trade cooperation to new heights through shared opportunities and mutual benefits.

Laszlo Balogh said that since the launch of the China-CEEC cooperation mechanism, Hungary has actively participated in cooperation under this framework with fruitful results. Hungary values the cooperation with China under the "Belt and Road" initiative, with the Hungary-Serbia railway investment becoming a demonstration project. Facing the outbreak of COVID-19, the two countries have supported each other in medical supplies and vaccination. With the vaccines ordered from China, Hungary's vaccination rate has exceeded 50%, becoming one of the countries with the highest vaccination rate in the world. Despite the epidemic, bilateral trade volume grew by 22% in 2020, with a rapid increase especially in financial cooperation. The Hungarian side welcomes Chinese companies to invest in Hungary in finance, digital technology and green technology, and continue to deepen the partnership and friendship between the two sides.
