Top Chinese officials and Ministers of Health from Central and Eastern European countries (CEEC) pledged to give substance to the China-CEEC partnership, especially in healthcare, as they signed the Budapest Declaration at the Third CEEC-China Health Ministers’ Meeting. Medical cooperation has progressed greatly since China and Hungary upgraded their bilateral partnership to a comprehensive strategic one in May during the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation in Beijing. Vice Premier Liu Yandong witnessed the signing of the declaration and related documents on the establishment of the China-CEEC Human Resources for Health Cooperation Network, the China-CEEC Hospital Alliance official website, and the China-CEEC Health Policy Research Network. The Health Economy Trade Exhibition was also held in Budapest to promote health innovation cooperation and build a platform for health industries in China and the CEEC.
