習近平指出，兩個月前，我對匈牙利進行成功國事訪問，我們宣佈將中匈關係提升為新時代全天候全面戰略夥伴關係，為今年兩國建交75週年賦予新的歷史意義，也為中匈關係高水準發展注入強勁動力。下周，中國共産黨二十屆三中全會將在北京召開，中國將進一步全面深化改革，推動高品質發展和高水準對外開放。這將為中匈合作提供新機遇、注入新動能。雙方要保持高層交往，深化政治互信，密切戰略溝通協作，繼續堅定相互支援，加強各領域務實合作，高品質共建“一帶一路”，持續豐富中匈新時代全天候全面戰略夥伴關係內涵，更好造福人民。

習近平祝賀匈牙利就任歐盟輪值主席國。習近平強調，中歐之間沒有地緣政治矛盾，沒有根本利益衝突。中歐關係具有戰略意義和世界影響，應該保持穩定健康發展，共同應對全球性挑戰。明年是中國歐盟建交50週年，雙方應該堅持夥伴的正確定位和合作的主流基調，繼續推進雙向開放，加強國際協作，為促進世界和平穩定和發展繁榮作出貢獻。希望匈方作為歐盟輪值主席國，為推動中歐關係健康穩定發展、實現良性互動發揮積極作用。

歐爾班表示，兩個月前，習近平主席對匈牙利進行了歷史性成功訪問。兩個月來，雙方認真落實此訪重要成果，友誼和互信更加牢固，為匈中關係未來發展奠定了堅實基礎。面對當前動蕩不安的國際形勢，中國不僅熱愛和平，而且提出了系列建設性的重要倡議，以自己的實際行動證明，中國是促進世界和平的重要穩定力量。匈方高度讚賞和重視中方的作用和影響，願同中方密切戰略溝通協作。匈方主張加強對華合作，反對搞“小圈子”和陣營對抗，願以擔任歐盟輪值主席國為契機，積極推動歐中關係健康發展。

雙方重點就烏克蘭危機進行深入溝通。歐爾班通報了近日訪問烏克蘭和俄羅斯有關情況。習近平讚賞歐爾班為推動政治解決烏克蘭危機所作努力，闡述了中方有關看法主張。

習近平強調，早日停火止戰，尋求政治解決，符合各方利益。當前的重點是遵守“戰場不外溢、戰事不升級、各方不拱火”三原則，儘快推動局勢降溫。國際社會要為雙方恢復直接對話談判創造條件、提供助力。只有所有大國都發揮正能量而不是負能量，這場衝突才能儘早出現停火曙光。中方一直在以自己的方式積極勸和促談，鼓勵和支援一切有利於和平解決危機的努力。中匈的基本主張和努力方向是一致的。中方願同匈方以及有關各方繼續保持溝通。

BEIJING, July 8 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping met with Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban here on Monday, and the two sides exchanged in-depth views on the Ukraine crisis.

Orban briefed Xi on his recent visits to Ukraine and Russia. Xi expressed appreciation for Orban's efforts in promoting the political settlement of the Ukraine crisis and elaborated on China's relevant views and propositions.

Xi stressed that an early ceasefire and a political settlement are in the interests of all sides, adding that the priority is to cool down the situation by observing the three principles of no expansion of the battlefield, no escalation of fighting, and no fanning by any party over the flames.

Xi called on the international community to create conditions and provide support for the resumption of direct dialogue and negotiation between the two sides, saying that only if all major countries inject positive rather than negative energy, can a ceasefire in this conflict emerge as soon as possible.

"China has been actively promoting peace talks in its own way and encouraging and supporting all efforts conducive to a peaceful settlement of the crisis," he said, adding that the basic propositions of China and Hungary and the direction of their efforts are the same and that China is willing to stay in communication with Hungary and all relevant parties.

Xi noted that during his successful state visit to Hungary two months ago, the bilateral relations were elevated to an all-weather comprehensive strategic partnership for a new era, which gave new historical significance to the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties this year and injected strong impetus into the high-level development of China-Hungary relations.

Noting that the third plenary session of the 20th Communist Party of China Central Committee will be held next week, Xi said China will further deepen overall reform and promote high-quality development and high-level opening up, which will provide new opportunities and create new momentum for China-Hungary cooperation.

Xi said that the two countries should maintain high-level exchanges, deepen political mutual trust, strengthen strategic communication and coordination, continue to firmly support each other, strengthen practical cooperation in various fields, advance high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, and continue to enrich the bilateral all-weather comprehensive strategic partnership for a new era to better benefit the people.

He congratulated Hungary on assuming the rotating presidency of the European Union (EU) and said there is no geopolitical contradiction or fundamental conflict of interests between China and the EU.

China-EU relations are of strategic significance and global influence and should maintain steady and sound development, Xi said, calling on the two sides to jointly respond to global challenges.

Next year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and the EU, Xi said, adding that the two sides should stay committed to the correct path of bilateral partnership with cooperation as the defining trend, continue to promote two-way opening up, strengthen international coordination, and contribute to world peace, stability, development and prosperity.

It is hoped that Hungary, as the holder of the rotating EU presidency, will play a positive role in promoting the sound and stable development of China-EU relations and facilitating constructive interactions, Xi added.

Orban said that over the past two months, the two sides have earnestly implemented the important outcomes of President Xi's visit to Hungary, strengthened friendship and mutual trust, and laid a solid foundation for the future development of bilateral relations.

In the face of the current turbulent international situation, China not only loves peace but has also put forward a series of constructive and important initiatives, proving with its own concrete actions that China is an important stabilizing force for world peace, Orban said.

He added that Hungary highly appreciates and values China's role and influence and is willing to maintain close strategic communication and coordination with China.

Hungary advocates strengthening cooperation with China and opposes forming exclusionary cliques and bloc confrontation, Orban said.

Hungary is willing to take the rotating EU presidency as an opportunity to actively promote the sound development of EU-China relations, he said. ■
