About us

Friesland has a strong bond with China

It has had a particularly close friendship with the provinces of Sichuan en Heilongjiang since 1998. China is an important trade partner for Friesland. While Friesland is especially famous for its agriculture, it also specialises in innovative technologies that China can benefit from.

Trade missions

To nourish this special relationship and explore further opportunities, the Province of Friesland regularly organises trade missions to and from China. These missions facilitate the exchange between Frisian and Chinese parties and generate valuable leads for doing business in the future.
