On 21^st November, 2014 the Consulate-General of the Kingdom of The Netherlands in Chongqing was officially opened, just over 75 years after the first Dutch diplomat arrived in Chongqing. The famous Dutch diplomat, sinologist and author Robert van Gulik used to live in Chongqing in those years. It was in Chongqing where he accumulated inspiration for his world renowned Judge Dee novels. Nowadays, Chongqing is the world’s largest municipality with over 30 million inhabitants. Chongqing still enjoys double digit economic growth and its middle class is growing exponentially. Over 200 Fortune 500 companies have established operations in Chongqing. Rotterdam opened its Commercial Representative Office in Chongqing in 2012. In May 2014 the Chongqing Government Logistics Council opened its Representative Office in Rotterdam, promoting the Yuxinou railway between Chongqing and Europe.

This event was organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of The Netherlands with the support of Rotterdam Partners, RCRO and NCH.
