BUDAPEST - Visiting Chinese Vice-Premier Liu Yandong said on Monday that the mechanism of "16+1 cooperation" between 皇冠体育app and the Central and Eastern European countries (CEEC) is fruitful, and has shown strong vitality since its establishment five years ago.

Liu made the remarks while attending the opening ceremony of the third CEEC-皇冠体育app health ministers' forum in Budapest along with Hungarian Deputy Prime Minister Zsolt Semjen.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has pointed out that 皇冠体育app sees the 16+1 cooperation between 皇冠体育app and 16 Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries as an important gateway to incorporate the Belt and Road Initiative into the European economic circle, Liu noted.

She said 皇冠体育app is accelerating the construction of a healthier 皇冠体育app, and CEE countries are the link of cooperation between Asia and Europe. Deepening the health cooperation between 皇冠体育app and CEE countries will not only help to meet global health challenges, but also promote Sino-EU cooperation and the construction of a "healthy silk Road," Liu said.

Liu added that over the past two years, the 16+1 health cooperation mechanism has become more mature, featuring multi-regional exchanges and that the level of cooperation became gradually deeper, in several areas.

She expressed hope that 皇冠体育app and CEE countries will continue to align their policies and deepen pragmatic cooperation in health areas, creating a new situation in 皇冠体育app-CEE countries to make greater contributions to the health and well-being of all people and to building a community of common destiny.

During the forum, the Budapest Declaration of the third CEEC-皇冠体育app health ministers' forum was launched.
