The assembly plant will be in eastern Hungary, he added, although the specific venue has yet to be decided.

He named the southern great plain region and the cities of Gyongyos and Miskolc as possible sites for the plant.

The project, fully financed by China, is likely to be implemented within the next six months, he added.
