Direct Air Link to a Seventh Chinese City from Budapest

A new air service will be launched between Hungary and China, so from June this year, a seventh Chinese city, Shenzhen, will be directly accessible from Budapest, with two flights a week, according to the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

The day before, it was announced that from this summer, Xian will also be directly accessible from Budapest, and shortly beforehand that a flight to Guangzhou would be launched.

The statement also announced an agreement under which the Chinese government will support the broad market entry of Hungarian companies in the country.

A Hungarian company will start manufacturing medical diagnostic equipment in China in the second half of this year, while the country's presence in the pharmaceutical industry is also emphasized, as demonstrated by the fact that the pharmaceutical company Richter has increased its revenue in China by more than 20% in two years.

The statement also highlights that an agreement has been reached to start negotiations on a regionalization agreement so that in the event of an outbreak of avian influenza or swine fever, the import ban would only apply to the region concerned, with poultry and pig products from other parts of the country continuing to be exported to China without disruption.
