China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Wednesday called on the Netherlands to jointly advance bilateral cooperation in economy, trade, science and technology, innovation and other fields, while maintaining the stability of global industrial and supply chains. Wang, in a phone call with his Dutch counterpart Hanke Bruins Slot, described the Netherlands as a "gateway" for China's cooperation with Europe, according to a Chinese foreign ministry statement.

He said China was ready to give full play to the "open, pragmatic and comprehensive" partnership with the Netherlands and to advance "sustained and healthy" development of bilateral ties.
