Andre Haspels, the Netherlands ambassador to China

I'm happy to be here to listen to China's plans. It's very important to European countries. The most interesting topics for me are economy and security issues because they are very important for our bilateral relationship and the global situation, as we are facing challenges in Ukraine and Gaza, so I hope we can learn more about China's positions there.

China has undergone tremendous development for decades. It's important to keep up the development, because the world economy and Chinese economy are very interlinked. We have to make sure the interlink remains. I hope we will be able to give positive moves about economy.
