“对重庆,从来没感到过陌生”
——访匈牙利共和国驻重庆总领事馆临时代办南英杰

文/本刊记者 成海杨

记者:你在中国待了有8年的时间,这期间是否来过重庆,对重庆有什么印象?

南英杰:是的。我在中国一共待了8年的时间。1988年—1992年在北京的芳草地小学学习,因为当时我父亲在匈牙利大使馆工作,所以有机会来到中国学习。在中国读小学对我的汉语学习有着非常大的帮助。回到匈牙利以后我也一直在坚持学习中文,在罗兰大学学习时也是就读的中文专业。大学毕业以后就到匈牙利外交部亚太司中国组工作。

2007年1月份正式到匈牙利驻华大使馆 担任新闻官的工作,到现在有3年多的时间,直到今年才被调来重庆负责这边的工作。

我在北京工作期间没有来过重庆,但在2009年不管在任何地方,不管是中国的报纸、网络、广播,还是外国的BBC、CNN都能看到有关重庆打黑的消息。做为经常和媒体打交道的新闻官员,我也看到过重庆打黑和建设五个重庆的报道,并在其它一些场合看到过重庆的宣传材料,通过这些途径我能感觉到重庆是一个很有魅力的城市,虽然之前没来过重庆,但是对这里我从来都没感到陌生。

记者:您来重庆已经有一段时间了,请谈一谈在重庆的感受,喜欢重庆吗?

南英杰:我是1月25号到达重庆,到现在有几个月的时间了,对重庆也有了进一步的了解,并且也慢慢的喜欢上了这座有着几千年历史的现代都市。

初到重庆让我感触比较深的有三个方面。第一,重庆的绿化特别好,走到哪里都是绿色的。在我走下飞机的瞬间,绿色的树木,美丽的花草顿时映入我的眼帘,让我对这座神奇的城市充满了好感。第二,重庆人多、车多、街窄,走到哪里都特别热闹。第三,就是在语言方面有点不是特别适应。刚来重庆对当地方言还有些听不懂,并且在说普通话方面也跟其他地方有点差异。不过现在我也正在学习“重庆普通话”,争取早点融入到重庆人的生活当中。

记者:是什么吸引匈牙利政府来重庆设立总领事馆?总领馆的设立又能给重庆市民带来哪些便利?

南英杰:在2月4日匈牙利共和国驻重庆总领事馆开馆之时,匈牙利外长鲍拉日·彼得就说过,之所以选择在重庆设馆,是因为匈牙利对重庆的经济发展有着强烈兴趣,相信重庆未来有许多潜在的机遇。

匈牙利既是欧盟成员国又是申根成员国,不管在哪个城市设立领事馆都能带来很多好处。驻重庆总领馆的工作室装修完毕后就会开始在重庆发放申根签证,这对于那些对欧洲有着浓厚兴趣的重庆市民来说有着非常大的帮助和便利。

记者:匈牙利共和国总领馆刚刚在重庆设立,总领事馆在重庆与匈牙利的经济、政治、文化、教育的沟通与交流中将扮演什么角色,具体有哪些工作计划?

南英杰:匈牙利共和国总领事馆在重庆与匈牙利的交往中主要起着牵线搭桥的作用, 通过我们让双方加强了解。2月4日匈牙利外长访问重庆时总领事馆就举行了开馆仪式,总领馆工作的第一部分也就结束了。第二部我们工作的重点就是要完成总领馆的装修工作,因为只有把工作的环境准备好了,其它各环节的工作才能更好的开展。

记者:据悉,到现在为止还没有重庆企业到匈牙利投资,您会在重庆企业到匈牙利投资方面做出哪些努力?

南英杰:中国西南部与欧洲中东部之间的交流发展并不多,应该加强双方的交流。而这也正是总领馆在中国西南部设立的原因之一。

记者:匈牙利一直在采取各种有效措施优化投资环境,所以匈牙利也是中东欧地区人均吸引外资最多的国家之一,能不能介绍一下匈牙利的投资环境,相对其他欧洲国家匈牙利又有哪些优势?

南英杰:匈牙利地处欧洲中部,交通便利就是最好的投资环境和最大的优势。从匈牙利到波兰港口、地中海港口、黑海港口,乘坐火车均只需要几个小时便可到达,如果乘坐飞机,2个小时之内可以到达欧洲的任何地方。

如果中国企业想在欧洲建立物流中心或者是大型仓库,那么匈牙利肯定是首选。匈牙利的对华政策里面还包括很多对中国商人的优惠政策,所以也欢迎重庆的企业到匈牙利投资。

记者:匈牙利的旅游资源丰富,是世界上最吸引人的15个国家之一,请介绍一下匈牙利的旅游情况,有哪些景点要推荐给重庆市民?

南英杰:匈牙利的国土面积虽然不大,但却是个旅游大国。坐落在多瑙河畔的首都布达佩斯是欧洲著名的古城,风光无限,有“多瑙河上的明珠”之美誉。欧洲最大的淡水湖巴拉顿湖也是吸引大批游客的一个亮点。另外,匈牙利的葡萄美酒也为这个国家增光添彩,以其历史悠久、酒味醇香闻名于世。

匈牙利的医疗温泉在世界上也是比较著名的,在匈牙利几乎在任何地方,只要往地下钻孔,总是会发现温泉泉源。

记者:现在匈牙利的中国留学生多吗?如果市民想去留学需要具备什么条件,申根签证办理会不会很复杂?

南英杰:现在匈牙利大概有2万多华人,中东欧最大的华人团体也在布达佩斯,但在匈牙利留学的中国留学生还不够多。

对于去匈牙利留学的条件也没有什么特别的要求,和其它申根国家是一样的。匈牙利有1000多万人口,获得诺贝尔奖的就有14个,人均获诺贝尔奖的比例在世界上是最高的,由此也可以反映出匈牙利的教育系统是非常完善的,所以非常欢迎重庆的学生到匈牙利去学习。

因为匈牙利是申根成员国,申根签证的办理已经不只是匈牙利内部的事务,它也涉及到其它申根成员国的利益问题,所以在 手续办理上要多一点,但是并不是很麻烦,并且拿到签证以后带来的好处也将更多,比如持有申根签证的个人可以到其他申根成员国去旅游而不需要另外申请签证,这将给签证持有人带来巨大的便利。

Jou rna list: You spen t 8 yea rs in Ch ina, d id you have the op po rtun ity to v isit Chongq ing du ring th is tim e? W ha t w as yo u r firs t im p ress ion abo u t Chongq ing be fo re?

M ik lós:Yea, I used to stud y in Beijing Fang caod i p rim a ry schoo l du ring 1988-1992.

Jou rna list: Un til now, Chongq ing en te rp rises have ye t to invest in Hunga ry, w ha t is you r p lan on th is?

M ik lós:The comm unica tion be tween the Cen tra l and Easte rn Eu rope and Sou thwest o f China is no t m uch, we shou ld streng then the b ila te ra l exchanges. This is exac tly why we se tup the Consu la te-Gene ra l in sou thwest o f China.
