China-CEE summit - Orban: China's economy fount of opportunities

China's strengthening economy offers a fount of opportunities to countries in central and eastern Europe, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said after a forum attended by leaders of China and the CEE region in Budapest on Monday. At a press conference, Orban noted Asia's increased weight "in the new world order which is now forming", adding that China had become "a dominant financial and technological power". He said central and eastern Europe harboured great potential but technology and financing from outside Europe was required to meet future development needs since the continent's resources were no longer sufficient. On behalf of the CEE countries, Orban hailed that China as part of the new world order seeks to be present in the development of central and eastern Europe.
