Peng Liyuan, wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping, on invitation visited the Buda Castle and had tea with Zsuzsanna Nagy, wife of Hungarian President Tamas Sulyok, in Budapest on Thursday.
The two first ladies appreciated the exhibition of Hungarian Herend porcelain and traditional embroidery craftsmanship.
Peng said she is impressed by the exquisite Hungarian porcelain and superb embroidery craftsmanship.
Porcelain and embroidery are common symbols of the civilizations of China and Hungary, Peng said, adding it is hoped that artists from both countries strengthen exchanges and mutual learning, and promote cultural integration.
The two first ladies listened to a briefing on the restoration of the Szent Istvan Hall of the Buda Castle.
Appreciating the exquisite restoration skills of Hungarian experts, Peng raised her hope that the two sides would strengthen cooperation in the protection and restoration of cultural relics, so that historical legacies could be better passed on.
