Top-ranking Chinese leaders' busily scheduled visits to Central and Eastern European countries are sending Beijing's strong message to beef up economic and trade ties and foster dialogue with the region, said European politicians and observers.
Vice-Premier Li Keqiang arrived in Budapest on Monday shortly after visiting Russia.
Li's trip came just after Premier Wen Jiabao's European trip. In Poland, Wen pledged that China and Central and Eastern European countries should make efforts to double the volume of trade by 2015.
