BEIJING, March 25 (Xinhua) — Chinese Premier Li Qiang called for further unleashing the potential of cooperation with the Netherlands in green and innovative fields to achieve mutual benefit and higher-level win-win outcomes.
Li Qiang made the call during a telephone conversation with Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten.
As the head of the Chinese government noted, over the more than 10 years since the establishment of the open and pragmatic comprehensive cooperative partnership between China and the Netherlands, thanks to the joint efforts of both sides, interstate ties and cooperation have steadily deepened. "Openness and pragmatism" remain their hallmarks, bringing tangible benefits to the peoples of both countries, Li Qiang added.
According to him, in a context of growing international instability, when unilateralism and protectionism are dealing serious blows to the global economy, it is especially important to adhere to the course of stimulating cooperation through openness and promoting mutual benefit through pragmatism.
Li Qiang emphasized that the Chinese side is willing to work with the Netherlands to strengthen political trust, adhere to mutual respect and equal dialogue, and expand mutually beneficial cooperation, constantly injecting new impetus into the joint development of the two countries and injecting positive energy into promoting world peace and prosperity.
As the Premier of the State Council stated, China and the Netherlands are important trade and economic partners for each other, and strengthening cooperation is in the common interests of both sides.
As China implements the 15th Five-Year Plan, the overall size of the Chinese economy will reach new heights in the next five years, opening up broader prospects for deepening Sino-Dutch trade and economic cooperation, Li Qiang noted.
He expressed the Chinese side's readiness to strengthen cooperation with the Netherlands at all levels and more effectively utilize the role of dialogue mechanisms in the fields of economics, trade, science and technology.
Noting that the Netherlands has long been an important gateway for China-EU cooperation and a key member state of the European Union, Li Qiang expressed the hope that the Netherlands will play an active role in promoting an objective and rational understanding of China-EU relations and cooperation by EU institutions, and work with the Chinese side to properly resolve differences and problems through dialogue and consultation, so as to promote the healthy and stable development of China-EU relations.
R. Jetten, for his part, stated that China is an important trading partner for his country, and that Dutch-Chinese relations are one of the most important bilateral ties for the Netherlands.
The Prime Minister noted that interstate relations have been developing very dynamically in recent years. The new Dutch government is placing increased emphasis on relations with China and is committed to maintaining close high-level contacts, stimulating mutually beneficial cooperation in areas such as economics, trade, innovation, and climate action, jointly addressing global challenges, and protecting shared interests.
R. Jetten recalled that next year will mark the 55th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level between the Netherlands and China. The Netherlands is ready to work with China to achieve new progress in the open and pragmatic relations of comprehensive cooperation and partnership between the two countries, he assured.
Relations between the European Union and China are of paramount importance, and the Netherlands is ready to play an active role in promoting dialogue and cooperation between the EU and China, the Dutch Prime Minister added. –0–
