Budapest, Hungary — Hungary is urging Europe to embrace a green transition, emphasizing the critical role of international cooperation, especially with China, in achieving sustainable development goals. Balazs Orban, the political director to the Hungarian Prime Minister, highlighted Hungary’s leading position in Europe’s green initiatives during an event in Beijing.
“We believe the green transition is not just an option but a necessity for Europe,” Orban stated. “Hungary is committed to playing a leading role, and we hope to strengthen our cooperation with China in this vital area.”
Orban’s remarks came during the launch of the Chinese edition of his book, Hussar Cut: The Hungarian Strategy for Connectivity. The event underscored the importance of building bridges between Europe and China, particularly in the realm of environmental sustainability.
Hungary has been proactive in implementing green policies, investing in renewable energy, and promoting eco-friendly technologies. Orban believes that collaboration with China, a global leader in green technology, can accelerate these efforts.
“Both Hungary and the European Union can benefit immensely from partnering with China,” he added. “Together, we can drive innovation and make significant strides toward a greener future.”
The call for enhanced cooperation reflects a broader trend of countries recognizing the importance of global partnerships in tackling climate change. As young people around the world advocate for environmental action, leaders like Orban are acknowledging the urgency of transitioning to sustainable practices.
