At the invitation of Hungarian President Tamas Sulyok and Prime Minister Viktor Orban, Xi is on a state visit to Hungary, the last leg of his current three-nation Europe tour, which has also taken him to France and Serbia.

Former Hungarian president Pal Schmitt attended the ceremony and congratulated the producers on the broadcast of the program in the country.

Peter Medgyessy, former Hungarian Prime Minister, also delivered a video message to congratulate on the airing of the program in Hungary.

Shen Haixiong, vice minister of the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and president of the CMG, and Daniel Papp, chief executive of Hungary's Media Service Support and Asset Management Fund (MTVA), announced the launch of the Hungarian version of the TV program at the ceremony.

In his speech, Shen said he believes that the premiere of the program in Hungary can open a window of thought for Hungarian people to understand Xi's wisdom in governance and understand Chinese culture, thereby helping them understand the unique charm of China in the new era.

The program carefully selects famous quotes from ancient Chinese classics that Xi has used in his important speeches, articles and remarks. Focusing on themes including common prosperity, green development, ecological civilization, legal construction and protection of cultural heritages, the program vividly presents Xi's political wisdom and rich knowledge of history and traditional Chinese culture.

The program and its promotional video have been aired by other media outlets across Europe and around the world, including the pan-European news channel Euronews and France's BFM Business.
