Hungary plans to sign at least 16 agreements with China during President Xi Jinping’s three-day visit from Wednesday, according to Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto.

The agreements, which may total 18 as two are still under negotiation, will focus on expanding the Hungarian chapter of the Belt and Road Initiative to include further rail, road and energy projects, Szijjarto was quoted as saying in a ministry statement on Monday. The sides will also review the possibility for nuclear cooperation.
