China and Dutch will strengthen cooperation in civil aviation, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) said Tuesday on its website.

China and the Netherlands will establish a working group on civil aviation cooperation, according to a memorandum signed between MIIT minister Miao Wei and Dutch Minister of Foreign Affairs Bert Koenders on Tuesday in Beijing.

The two countries will accelerate cooperation in producing advanced, efficient, environment-friendly and safe aviation products, said the memorandum.

It is a reciprocal visit following Chinese President Xi Jinping's state visit to the Netherlands in March 2014.

Both state leaders witnessed the signing of 15 cooperation agreements, ranging from finance, trade to aviation, technology and panda protection. Endi
