During 30 June-6 July 2013, a delegation of Chinese leading land experts and local government officials visited the University of Groningen (RuG), the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs’ DLG in Groningen, and the Dutch Kadaster’s office in Zwolle.

Concrete cooperation proposals between the delegation and the RuG were discussed. The meeting at the RuG was chaired by Prof Leon Verstappen (law) and prof Joost Herman (GSG). The delegation was led by Prof Chujun Feng from the China Society of Economic Reform, joined by Prof Weichang Li (Chinese Academy of Forestry), Prof Xiaohu Huang (senior advisor to the Chinese Ministry of Land and Resources), and two local government officials.
