In his briefing, the head of the ministry emphasized that air transport plays an important role in the cooperation between the two countries, and therefore welcomed the fact that Hszian will be accessible from Budapest from this summer.
So there will be direct air connections between six Chinese cities and Budapest from the summer
he announced.
This, I think, is good news for all of us, because direct air connections play an important role in terms of Chinese-Hungarian economic and trade cooperation.
he added.
With a population of approximately 13 million, it is the seat and largest city of Xianxi province. It is located about 900 kilometers southwest of Beijing and is an important industrial and financial center.
Péter Szijjártó also reported that after Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing and Ningbo, Guangzhou will be directly accessible from Budapest, after it was recently announced that the Chinese airline China Southern Airlines will launch a flight between Budapest and Guangzhou in June.
According to his words, this will increase the number of flights between the two countries to seventeen per week.
This is the most that a Central European country can show
he said.
Guangzhou is a metropolis of about 15 million people, the capital of the Kwantung province, apostrophized as the factory of the Eastern world, where corporate giants have their headquarters and large factories, such as the world’s largest electric car manufacturer, BYD, one of the world’s largest IT companies, Huawei, and ZTE, Sunwoda and Eve Energy, which are also present in Hungary, reports MTI.
