In May 2024, China Hungary relations will be upgraded to a new era all-weather comprehensive strategic partnership, and bilateral cooperation will enter the "golden channel". Over the past year, China Hungary cooperation has flourished in various fields such as economy, trade, investment, culture, education, and tourism, achieving fruitful results and demonstrating a high degree of consensus between the two sides to strengthen communication, enhance mutual trust, and promote cooperation, continuously adding new impetus and connotation to the bilateral relations. This is a choice that is responsible for our children and our future. "On a peaceful afternoon, Lake Tisza shimmered with waves, and birds flew by from time to time, exuding vitality. Not far from the lakeside, rows of neatly arranged photovoltaic panels shine brightly in the sunlight. This is the Tissaphired Photovoltaic Power Station project in Hungary, invested and constructed by Chinese enterprises. In the central control room, electrical engineers stare at the display screen, monitoring the real-time operation data of various equipment. Here, employees from Hungary and China work together to solve problems and advance projects. ”Todoris Endere, the project manager of Tissaphiride Photovoltaic Power Station, told our reporter that the project will start at the end of 2023 and progress is very rapid. It has already been put into operation for power generation. China is in a leading position in the field of new energy, and the cooperation between Hungary and China is mutually beneficial and win-win. I believe there will be more possibilities for cooperation in the future, "said Todoris. It is reported that the Tissaphiride Photovoltaic Power Station project is expected to generate an average annual power output of 75 million kilowatt hours, which is expected to meet the annual electricity demand of more than 20000 households. It can save 30000 tons of standard coal and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 70000 tons annually. Laszlo, a resident of the town of Tissaphiride, said, "This is a responsible choice for our children and our future." The Tissaphiride photovoltaic power plant project is a microcosm of China Hungary green cooperation. In May of this year, BYD held a ceremony to open its European headquarters in Budapest, the capital of Hungary; BYD's first European passenger car factory located in Szeged, the third largest city in Hungary, is expected to start production by the end of 2025; CATL is building a battery factory in the eastern Hungarian city of Debrecen; The first phase project of the ternary positive electrode for high nickel power batteries invested and constructed by Huayou Cobalt Industry has been successfully promoted... Multiple cooperative projects have promoted the formation of an electric vehicle industry cluster, with upstream materials and power batteries meeting the needs of European car companies, and terminal products radiating to the European and even global markets. The European new energy industry chain, supply chain, and value chain have been further connected. Hungarian Minister of National Economy Nagi Marton stated that for Europe, China's new energy technologies, especially in the field of electric vehicles, provide great development opportunities, and he looks forward to Hungary and China continuing to expand green cooperation. "Feel the temperature of Hungary China friendship and understand what is win-win cooperation" The Hungary Serbia railway is a landmark project of high-quality joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" between China and Central and Eastern European countries, with a total length of about 350 kilometers, connecting Budapest and Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. The Novi Sad Subotica section of the Hungary Serbia Railway entered the testing phase in August this year; The Hungarian section has entered the implementation stage of electrification, communication signal and other engineering projects. The Taoksoni Station on the Hungarian section of the Hungary Serbia Railway, with a history of over a hundred years, carries the memories of the residents along the line. Now, the renovation project of the station has been completed. In order to maintain the complete architectural texture, the Chinese team adheres to the principle of "repairing the old as old" and implants waterproof and water stop boards into the century old brick walls. This not only does not damage the original appearance of the building, but also increases the safety factor of the wall structure by 40%. After seeing the Chinese proposal, the staff of the design consortium exclaimed, "You have incorporated history into the future." The newly built Danube Vorsani traction substation on the Hungary Serbia railway is less than a 10 minute drive from the Taukeshuni station. Hu Zhihua, Chief Engineer of China Railway Hungary Serbia Railway Hungary Section Project, introduced that the substation has achieved unmanned operation, and all equipment operation is under real-time monitoring by the railway dispatch center. Hungarian employee George is the chief translator of the project branch of China Railway Electrification Bureau and participated in the entire process of project construction. He said, "During the construction of the Hungary Serbia railway, I deeply felt the warmth of the friendship between Hungary and China, and understood what win-win cooperation is." Hungarian Minister of Construction and Transport Lazar Janos said that the Hungary Serbia railway is expected to be officially opened in January 2026. "The railway will connect Greek ports, create the fastest transportation channel from the Far East to Western Europe, and make Hungary a key hub for regional logistics. I hope to cultivate more envoys to inherit and develop the friendship between China and Hungary. "Appreciating performances such as Quanzhou lion dance, Five Ancestor Fist, and string puppetry, listening to the hairpin flower master talk about fishing culture, experiencing the" hairpin flower enclosure "on the head, and making Yongchun paper woven paintings... Recently, the Quanzhou Intangible Cultural Heritage Experience Workshop in Fujian visited the Hungary China Bilingual School in Budapest, sparking a wave of enthusiasm for experiencing Chinese culture. Elder Susanna, the principal of the Hungarian Chinese Bilingual School, said that recently many Chinese cultural groups have come to the school, and many students from the school have gone to China for study tours. Nearly one-third of this year's 29 graduates are preparing to study abroad in China, and 'every day at school is full of stories and vitality'. The Hungarian Chinese Bilingual School is the first public full-time school in Central and Eastern Europe to use both the local language and Chinese for teaching. Last July, the Confucius Institute of the Hungarian Chinese Bilingual School was officially unveiled, making it the sixth Confucius Institute in Hungary and the first Confucius Institute established outside of a university. Wang Yue, the Chinese person in charge of the Hungary China Bilingual School, said that the school actively organizes exchange activities between Chinese and Hungarian youth. Last year, the school organized multiple programs such as winter and summer camps in China, aiming to establish friendly relations between the youth of the two countries. "We hope to cultivate more ambassadors to inherit and develop the cause of China Hungary friendship." Recently, the library of the Budapest Chinese Cultural Center, which has been preparing for a long time, opened to the public, attracting many "Chinese fans" from Hungary. In just one month, it registered 100 regular readers. The director of the center, Jin Hao, stated that since the beginning of this year, activities such as the "Me and Su Tong Face to Face" reader meeting and the "Folk Art Jiangnan - Shanghai Folk Art Image Special Exhibition" held by the center have been well received by the Hungarian people. Jin Hao stated that with the continuous warming of cultural exchanges between China and Hungary, two-way personnel exchanges between the two countries are becoming increasingly frequent. The center will continue to strengthen event planning, enrich event forms, and build bridges for mutual understanding and matchmaking between the two peoples. (New Society)
