In the context of the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and the Netherlands, we successfully held a variety of cultural exchange activities, such as flower exhibitions, drama performances, and art exchanges, which greatly enhanced people-to-people bonds. In the future, we wholeheartedly welcome the Netherlands to continue actively engaging in Chongqings development for the new era. Let us join hands to create more cooperation opportunities, strengthen cultural exchanges, and promote an Open and Pragmatic Partnership for Comprehensive Cooperation between the Peoples Republic of China and the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

He was proud that despite various challenges, both the Netherlands and China have made efforts to overcome them. Bilateral trade between the two countries continues to grow at a rate of 4%, surpassing EUR100 billion last year. The great attention and pragmatic promotion of open-up and development by the new CPC Chongqing Municipal Committee and the Chongqing Municipal Government are truly encouraging. The Netherlands is confident in deepening friendly cooperation with Chongqing in the future.
