It has been 2 years ago that NCRA was inaugurated. The NCRA team was about to initiate activities for the year 2020 when the Covid-19 virus hit the world. Since then it has been practically impossible to plan for in-person events, which would facilitate the best way to exchange experiences and views. Furthermore Travel restrictions have blocked almost any people-to-people exchanges between the Netherlands and China.
Having a network of Dutch citizens with an extensive China experience still is considered to be of added value. However, building effectively the network has become difficult. The expectations are that the situation will not improve in the foreseeable future
The NCRA core team has decided to keep activities at low level and to wait till meetings and events can be organized without any Covid-19 related restrictions. In the meantime the team will keep in touch with the developments between the Netherlands and China in order to identify the area’s of interest where NCRA can add value.
