China and the Netherlands have agreed to maintain close communication through existing channels on cooperation in multiple sectors, including the sensitive area of semiconductor technology.
The consensus was reached during high-level talks between Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and his Dutch counterpart Caspar Veldkamp in Beijing.
The meeting covered a wide range of bilateral and global issues. Trade featured prominently, with both sides addressing mutual concerns and reaffirming their commitment to continued dialogue on economic and technological cooperation.
According to a joint statement, the two countries will keep communication open in various fields “including semiconductor technology,” signaling a willingness to manage differences and find common ground amid ongoing global tensions over chip supply chains and export controls.
This point was part of a broader six-point consensus reached by the two ministers, which also included strengthening cooperation in agriculture, science and technology, water management, and climate action.
The talks highlighted a shared interest in rules-based international trade and technological exchange, despite differing positions on some geopolitical issues. The two nations emphasized the importance of multilateralism and the international trading system with the World Trade Organization at its core.
Tensions between the Netherlands and China have eased recently, even after the Netherlands tightened semiconductor export rules starting April 1 under pressure from President Trump’s administration. Despite these stricter controls, the Netherlands is keeping communication channels open with China to maintain cooperation and prevent further deterioration in their relationship.
The agreement to maintain dialogue on semiconductors is seen as a practical step toward preserving stable economic ties between China and a key European Union member state.
