News from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website, on September 3, 2025, Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Minister of Foreign Affairs, met with Péter Szijjártó, the Hungarian Foreign Minister, in Beijing, who came to China to attend the activities commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.
Wang Yi welcomed Szijjártó on behalf of the Hungarian government for coming to China to attend the commemorative activities. He pointed out that 80 years ago, China, as the main battlefield in Asia, made great national sacrifices and made significant historical contributions to the victory of the world anti-fascist war. Today, China is holding grand commemorative activities in order to remember history and create a better future. Only when all countries take history as a mirror and cherish peace can we maintain long-term peace and stability in the world.
Wang Yi said that under the strategic guidance of the leaders of the two countries, China and Hungary have promoted traditional friendship and deepened practical cooperation, and bilateral relations are in the best period in history. China is willing to enhance strategic mutual trust with Hungary, deepen practical cooperation, and continuously enrich the connotation of the new era of comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Hungary. The success story of China-Hungary cooperation shows that China and Europe are partners, not rivals, and they can certainly learn from each other and achieve mutual success. The spirit of mutual respect, equality, and win-win cooperation contained in China-Hungary friendship has set an example for deepening mutual trust and expanding cooperation between China and Europe. Wang Yi hopes that Hungary will continue to play a constructive role in promoting the European side to establish a rational understanding of China and implement a positive policy towards China.
Wang Yi said that the current international situation is complex and chaotic, and the global governance deficit is prominent. President Xi Jinping proposed a global governance initiative at the "SCO Plus" meeting. This is another important public product provided by President Xi to the world, following the global development initiative, the global security initiative, and the global civilization initiative. It is timely and has been widely welcomed by all parties. China is willing to work with the international community, including Hungary, to practice multilateralism and promote the building of a more just and reasonable global governance system.
Szijjártó said that he was very pleased to come to China to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War together with the Chinese people. Hungary highly appreciates China's consistent position of standing on the side of peace and playing a key role in promoting world peace and stability. China is Hungary's most important partner, and Hungary is satisfied with the cooperation between the two sides and expects to further deepen Sino-Hungarian relations. The global governance initiative proposed by President Xi is encouraging, and Hungary attaches great importance to it and is willing to strengthen multilateral cooperation with China to promote the peaceful resolution of international disputes. Sino-European cooperation is an opportunity, not a risk. Viewing China as a systemic rival is the biggest mistake. Hungary firmly supports the development of Sino-European relations and is willing to play a constructive role in this regard.
