China Media Group (CMG), together with the Media Service Support and Asset Management Fund of Hungary, held a cultural exchange activity in Budapest on Wednesday to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries.
Several projects, including the broadcasting of CMG's programs in Hungary, co-production of documentaries and CMG's cooperation with the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music, were launched at the event.
Former Hungarian President Pal Schmitt said that over the 75 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, mutual trust, mutual support and friendly cooperation have continuously deepened.
He said that as a Hungarian member of the International Olympic Committee and a former Olympic champion, he is particularly pleased to see that China, besides achieving remarkable results in culture, science, economy and other fields, is also increasingly influential in the field of sports.
Schmitt said that the activity serves as a model for cooperation between media outlets from Hungary and China, adding that he's looking forward to CMG contributing more positive factors to deepen and broaden the extensive friendly relationship between the two countries, further narrow the distance between the people of the two countries, and promote continuous new developments in the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries.
Shen Haixiong, CMG president, also gave a speech at the event.
Prominent figures from the political, economic, cultural, artistic, academic and media circles of both countries attended the event.
