The Ministry of Interior said that the cooperation is not without precedent, and stressed that it will promote internal security and public order.

According to an agreement reached by Hungarian Minister of Interior, Sándor Pintér and China’s Minister for Public Safety in mid-February, Hungarian and Chinese police officers will soon begin patrolling together in some locations in Hungary. The German paper Welt had earlier reported that following a recent agreement, Chinese police officers will soon appear in Hungarian cities, just like they have in Serbia.
