Dear friends from all circles and local Chinese compatriots,

It is my great honor to be accredited to Dutch Caribbean to serve as the 4th Consul-General of the People's Republic of China. I would like to take this opportunity to extend my sincere gratitude to the friends from all circles for promoting the bilateral cooperation between China and Dutch Caribbean area.

The region of Dutch Caribbean has beautiful scenery, kind people and splendid culture. Although China and the region are separated by vast oceans and lands, we still enjoy huge potential for cooperation with close people-to-people exchanges. Over the last decade, both sides have been working closely, based on the principles of mutual respect and benefit, to improve friendly communication and cooperation in the various fields, and have witnessed fruitful outcomes.

I am looking forward to stepping into local society as soon as possible, understanding local customs, feeling the diverse culture, and to work hand in hand with the friends of all sectors to advance the bilateral friendly communication and pragmatic cooperation between China and Dutch Caribbean to new heights.

Zhang Kaibin

Chinese Consul-General in Willemstad
