During this meeting, they discussed upcoming activities of the Netherlands-China Association and underlined the importance of meeting, exchanging knowledge and open dialogue between the Netherlands and China \u2014 especially at a time when mutual understanding and contact remain of great value. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the experienced diplomat Shen Bo, the Netherlands is his first post as ambassador, a special moment in his career. We wish him every success in his new role and hope that he can do a lot to further warm up and strengthen the relationship between the Netherlands and China. His timing is good, now that the Netherlands is also expected to have a new cabinet soon.  <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We look forward to welcoming him to the Spring Festival, where he will have the opportunity to get to know our members and the broad network of the VNC.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our VNC Chair Monique Knapen-Seijkens had a first introductory meeting with the new Chinese ambassador to the Netherlands, Shen Bo, on February 4.
