Kathmandu, March 26. Hungarian President Janos Ader and Chinese State Councilor and Minister of National Defense Wei Fenghe have met and agreed to strengthen the co-operation between the two countries.

They have also agreed upon continued co-operation on anti-pandemic, economy, trade, tourism and military affairs, and to promote the in-depth development of the Hungary-China comprehensive strategic partnership.

Ader thanked China for its vaccine support, which brought hope for Hungary to prevail over the pandemic.

Wei also gave an introduction about the real situation of the construction and development in northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and refuted the lies and false accusations created by the United States and some other Western countries.

China firmly opposes and strongly condemns the unilateral sanctions imposed on China by the European Union, the United States, Britain, Canada and some other countries under the pretext of the so-called Xinjiang human rights issue, Wei said.

China appreciates Hungary’s firm support and righteous words on Xinjiang-related issues and other issues concerning China’s core interests, he noted.

Wei emphasized that China is willing to expand and strengthen military exchanges and cooperation with the Hungarian army so as to elevate the relations between the two militaries to a new level.
