Hungary is looking to emphasize its role as a land transportation hub for China-Europe freight trains as it aims to further promote comprehensive cooperation between the country and China in the fields of modern trade, logistics and e-commerce, said a Hungarian official.

Hungary’s Minister for Innovation and Technology Laszlo Palkovics said further steps for railroad infrastructure were taken by the Hungarian government to emphasize the country’s role as a central European logistics hub.

“We are proud to say that today, all major Chinese and European trains are concentrated in Hungary with dozens of European inland railroads crisscrossing the country, allowing goods to be delivered to all major European cities within a short period of time via a well-developed and continuously improving rail network,” Palkovics said.
