Chinese officials visiting the Netherlands signed agreements with Dutch institutes on introducing an early warning system for droughts and cooperation in water management and flood defence research.

Liangyu is also touring flood control systems in the low-lying country, famed for building some of the world’s most formidable flood defences.

"China is interested in our water management experience, while Dutch companies are interested in investing in China and exporting our know-how," said a spokeswoman for the Dutch ministry of transport, public works and water.
