“Both decoupling and de-risking would be a suicide committed by the European economy,” Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó told CNBC’s Sam Vadas at the World Economic Forum in Tianjin, China.
Szijjártó said that Hungary does not see China as a threat or a risk. “We look at China as a country with which, if you cooperate, you can take a lot of benefit out of it,” he said.
“There’s a big gap between the political perception and the reality on the ground. A decoupling would kill the European economy and be very harmful to the German economy as well.”
