The exhibition is designed to mark a new starting point in the friendship and fresh cooperation opportunities between the two countries, according to Antoni Mandemaker, acting consul general of the consulate-general of the Netherlands in Guangzhou who took part in the installation’s inauguration ceremony Friday at the Xiangmihu Flower Wonderland.
