PRESIDENT Xi Jinping has arrived in the Netherlands ahead of next week’s nuclear security summit in The Hague.
Xi is the first Chinese president to visit the Netherlands since the two states established diplomatic relations in 1972. Xi and his wife Peng were met at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport by the Dutch King Willem Alexander and Queen Maxima and welcomed with a 21-gun salute.
After that they headed to the royal palace on Amsterdam’s central Dam square for dinner with the monarchs.
Xi expressed the hope of meeting extensively with leaders of European countries.
He will address a meeting of 200 Chinese and 200 Dutch industrial leaders today at a conference on economic ties.
After the summit ends on Tuesday, Xi will travel to Paris, Berlin and Brussels. He is scheduled to visit the EU headquarters, becoming the first Chinese head of state to make such a trip.
