China's top legislator Monday pledged to further exchanges and
cooperation between the Chinese and Hungarian legislatures to
facilitate bilateral relations.
Wu Bangguo, chairman of the Standing Committee of China's
National People's Congress (NPC), made the remark in his meeting
with Szili Katalin, speaker of National Assembly of Hungary.
The Chinese NPC will continue its high-level exchanges with the
Hungarian parliament, increase in-depth cooperation between the
special committees of the legislatures, and enhance communication

China-Hungary relations, said Wu.
Appraising cooperation in such fields as trade, tourism,
culture, education, Wu acknowledged that China is ready to make
joint efforts with Hungary to expand cooperation and lift bilateral
relations to a new height.
China values its relations with the EU and will work with
Hungary to develop a Sino-EU comprehensive strategic partnership,
Wu added.
Szili Katalin said Hungary will play a positive role in
improving EU-China relations and go on adhering to the one-China
policy.
Wu voiced his appreciation for Hungary's support of the
one-China policy.
After the meeting, the economic committees of the two
legislatures signed a memorandum on cooperation on economic
policy.
