Mr. Fu Xiaorui, Head of the Asian Region of The Hague Business Agency and Mr. Ruud van Broeckhuijsen of the Economic City Development Department of The Hague City Hall warmly welcomed Director Liu Dianxun and his delegation. Mr. Fu Xiaorui first introduced the excellent geographical location, economic profile and stable and superior investment advantages of The Hague. The Hague is an international city, and the embassies of the countries in the Netherlands are located in The Hague, including the Chinese Embassy in the Netherlands, known as the world's second "United Nations city." The existence of these international organizations makes the infrastructure, social security, quality of life and cost of The Hague unique in the Netherlands. The Hague is also rich in business climate, with corporate headquarters, logistics, warehousing, sales and service centers from different countries around the world rooted in it. In addition, the Netherlands’ mature tax is the best place for many overseas companies to explore the Netherlands market.

After listening to the introduction, Director Liu Dianxun expressed: I am very impressed by the city of The Hague. Our Investment Promotion Agency of the Ministry of Commerce also has a friendly cooperation foundation with The Hague Business Agency. The "Third Sino-Dutch Entrepreneur Investment and Trade Forum" successfully held in late March this year is the result of cooperation between the Investment Promotion Agency of Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China and The Hague City Government and The Hague Business Agency. We brought more than 260 entrepreneurs together to discuss cooperation and full of business opportunities.

In the process of free communication, Director Liu Dianxun emphasized that CIPA and The Hague Business Agency need to further clarify the direction and field of future cooperation and deepen the partnership with specific projects. The construction of China-Dutch agricultural cross-border cooperation platform is the focus of CIPA's annual work this year. The CIPA Benelux Working Group, as a resident team in the Netherlands, has established contacts with several major agricultural institutions in the Netherlands. The possibility of cooperation on specific projects in the modern agricultural sector with The Hague Business Agency is worth exploring. In addition, China's IT industry has flourished in recent years to reach the world's leading industry level. The IT industry in The Hague is a dominant industry in the developed regions of the Netherlands. It is also a new topic and opportunity for China and the Netherlands to jointly develop the third-party market in the vicinity of the region.

Finally, Mr. Fu Xiaorui said that we will continue to provide efficient and convenient services for Chinese enterprises to settle in the Netherlands.
