When we look at the report, we mainly look at opportunities beneath it. And in what areas can Noord-Brabant contribute to the development of Jiangsu. In this year’s report, we see the Belt and Road Initiative that we Noord-Brabant can contribute. The Netherlands is the destination country of the BRI. CHINA RAILWAY Express that links China and Europe also arrives in the city of Tilburg in Noord-Brabant province. Now we are connecting to Chengdu in China. And we will connect it to Suzhou. There will be trains going to Noord-Brabant and coming back to China and Jiangsu on a daily basis.

Essex has been in a relationship with Jiangsu Province for 30 years and we have always been sending delegations to each other to promote cooperation and exchanges.
In 2018, led by Jiangsu Science and Technology Department and Jiangsu Provincial Department of Commerce, we have worked on a plan for cooperation with 5 other counties, including Cambridge and North London, in the East of England. We also hope to sign the Memorandum of Cooperation between Jiangsu and the East England Development Union in 2020 to further promote exchanges in science and technology, trade, medical, health, education and other fields between Jiangsu and the East of England, including Essex.
