Netherlands' PM to meet with Xi

Prime Minister Mark Rutte of the Netherlands said his country will actively respond to China's "One Belt, One Road" initiative to improve trade connections between Asia and Europe.

Rutte will embark on his second visit in two years to China this week to attend the Bo'ao Forum, saying his upcoming meeting with President Xi Jinping will focus on discussions of relations and ways to strengthen cooperation.

Xi visited the Netherlands in March last year.
