Brings China closer:
via information, dialogue en connections

The VNC is an independent active association dedicated to sharing knowledge and networking in the cultural, business and educational fields in order to create better dialogue and cooperation between the Netherlands and China.

To this end, we regularly organize events and publish interesting articles in our periodical ChinaNU+.

We do this non-profit, without political or religious affiliation and with purely unpaid volunteers as board and staff. We have been doing this for more than 48 years.
