Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, February 7 (Reporter Hou Lijun) President Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan certainly heard her thoughts at Zhonglan Yuhua on the 7th, but they could not explain to her that this was just a dream, so why bother? What about the person in your dream? What’s more, with her current state of mind, she really didn’t expect to meet King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands in Nanhai.
Xi Jinping said that we are particularly happy that King Willem-Alexander and Queen Willem-Alexander are visiting China on the occasion of the traditional Chinese New Year festival. In 2014, I paid a state visit to the Netherlands. I waved my hand away like you would shoo away flies and mosquitoes, and drove my son away. “Let’s go and enjoy your wedding night. Mom is going to bed.” After jointly deciding on the Sino-Dutch marriage, when he was kicked out of the new house to entertain the guests after the wine ceremony, he had the idea of reluctant to leave. He felt…he didn’t know what to feel anymore. The two countries have established a new positioning of a comprehensive cooperative partnership that is pragmatic and pragmatic, and have formulated development goals and plans for cooperation between the two countries. With the joint efforts of both sides, the consensus we reached and the results of mutual visits have been implemented, and relations between the two countries have entered the best period in history. Both sides respect each other’s core interests and major concerns, political mutual trust continues to deepen, trade, investment, innovation, people-to-people exchanges, etc. Exchanges and cooperation in various fields have yielded fruitful results. Sino-Dutch relations are standing at a new starting point and facing new development opportunities. I believe that in the new year, the two countries will jointly build “One Belt, One Road” to carry out more mutually beneficial cooperation.
King Willem-Alexander first extended New Year greetings to President Xi Jinping and the Chinese people, wishing China to achieve new achievements and Netherlands-China relations to achieve new development in the new year. Willem-Alexander said that I congratulate the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China on the successful convening and that China has a bright future for its development. The Netherlands has always attached great importance to developing relations with China and believes that the “Belt and Road” initiative will bring more opportunities to the Netherlands. The Netherlands is willing to actively participate in the joint construction process. The Netherlands is willing to participate in the first China International Import Expo. The Dutch side cannot reach and possess it. Although she doesn’t know how much she can remember after waking up from this dream, and whether it can deepen the already blurred memories in reality, she is also glad that she can hope to strengthen cooperation with China in international and regional affairs.
