Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi inked a memorandum of understanding in cooperation between China and Hungary with Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Peter Szijjarto in Budapest, the capital of Hungary, on June 6, 2015.
The MOU, which is involved in jointly building the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road, is said to be the first such document China has ever signed with a European country.

Szijjarto said that his country is willing to work with China over the Belt and Road Initiative and pledged Hungary will make concerted efforts toward boosting pragmatic cooperation between his country and China, as well as cooperation between China and other central and eastern European countries.
