Horvath believes that China is Hungary's important economic partner because China is the world's second largest economy, with a market of 1.4 billion people and advanced technology.

Horvat also said that Hungary is also very important to China because Hungary is a member of the European Union and has a good geographical location and a stable political and economic environment. He also said that Hungary has been following its own path in foreign policy, responding in a timely manner to the changing international environment, proposing an "opening to the east" policy, and its relations with China and other Asian countries have become increasingly closer.

Horvath emphasized that Hungary needs to diversify its relations and cooperate with both the East and the West, which is in line with Hungary's national interests.

Before visiting Hungary, the last stop of President Xi’s visit was Serbia.

The British "Guardian" previously reported that the Chinese flag "dots the roads of Serbia" and that Serbia welcomed the Chinese leader like a home away from home.
