“75年前，我曾經(jīng)在這座城市生活過，今天我來到這里，像一只活恐龍。此刻我身在重慶，覺得恍然如夢。1939年，我父親從上海被派遣到重慶，此前他是荷蘭駐上?？傤I(lǐng)館的領(lǐng)事……”

11月21日，在荷蘭駐重慶總領(lǐng)事館正式開館儀式上，荷蘭前任駐華大使楊樂蘭作為特邀嘉賓出席了慶典活動，并在活動上回憶了二戰(zhàn)期間隨擔任荷蘭公使館外交官員的父親在重慶的生活，分享了其少年時的記憶，情之動容，展示了重慶與荷蘭之間交往的歷史。荷蘭駐華大使賈高博、前任荷蘭駐華大使楊樂蘭、重慶市常務(wù)副市長翁杰明、重慶市政府外事僑務(wù)辦公室副主任陳高山等出席了儀式，荷蘭駐渝總領(lǐng)事譚敬南主持了開館儀式。

荷蘭駐渝總領(lǐng)館是荷蘭在中國繼駐北京大使館、駐滬總領(lǐng)事館、駐廣州總領(lǐng)事館及駐香港總領(lǐng)事館之后設(shè)立的第五個外交代表處。新設(shè)重慶總領(lǐng)事館的主要使命是開展經(jīng)濟外交，同時也注重民間文化交往。作為荷蘭在中國西南地區(qū)唯一的總領(lǐng)事館，該領(lǐng)館領(lǐng)區(qū)范圍包括重慶、四川和陜西。

荷蘭駐華大使賈高博在開幕儀式上致辭并表示：荷蘭駐渝總領(lǐng)館的開辦，不僅讓中國西部地區(qū)企業(yè)有了更為簡便的渠道投資荷蘭，同時，將為在渝商務(wù)出差的荷蘭公司提供電腦、網(wǎng)絡(luò)、打印及掃描設(shè)備等工具。此外，還可以從總領(lǐng)事館工作人員處獲取投資中國西部的第一手資料和建議?！昂商m駐渝總領(lǐng)事館的開館標志著荷蘭又一次在重慶設(shè)立外交代表機關(guān)，荷蘭與重慶的關(guān)系深深植根于歷史當中，雙方的未來一定是光明的?！辟Z高博說。

“中國西部地區(qū)為荷蘭提供了廣闊的發(fā)展空間。”荷蘭駐渝總領(lǐng)事譚敬南說，“渝新歐”鐵路的開通，將原本相隔萬里的兩個城市緊密地連接了起來。他稱，西部地區(qū)作為中國發(fā)展最快的地區(qū)之一，保持著兩位數(shù)的增長速度，在農(nóng)產(chǎn)品、交通、倉儲物流、醫(yī)療保健、生命科學、環(huán)保及清潔技術(shù)等領(lǐng)域，與荷蘭有巨大的合作潛力。重慶總領(lǐng)事館已開展各個領(lǐng)域的市場調(diào)查，為荷蘭及中國公司在生豬養(yǎng)殖、馬鈴薯種植、園藝、乳業(yè)、高科技汽車及運輸、集散物流等領(lǐng)域提供了各種機會，荷蘭歡迎來自中國西部地區(qū)的潛在投資者。

值荷蘭駐渝總領(lǐng)事館開館當日，由重慶市政府外事僑務(wù)辦公室、重慶市文化委員會、中國重慶三峽博物館聯(lián)合舉辦的《巴渝舊事君應(yīng)憶——荷蘭高羅佩家族捐贈高羅佩私人收藏文物展》開幕儀式也在重慶三峽博物館舉行，還開設(shè)了高羅佩展廳，將其生前的私人收藏向公眾免費開放，讓這一“中國通”的荷蘭大漢學家更為人所熟悉。高羅佩的子女也來到重慶參加父親的私藏文物展揭幕儀式。

正如楊樂蘭在演講中提到的，“本世紀我一共兩次來渝——但是這次與以往不同。今天荷蘭駐渝總領(lǐng)事館正式開放，我們兜了個圈子又回到原點——上個世紀三四十年代的荷蘭外交官曾在戰(zhàn)時的重慶為發(fā)展中荷關(guān)系付出了不懈的努力，現(xiàn)在我們面臨進一步發(fā)展荷蘭同本地區(qū)關(guān)系的新機遇，這證明了他們當初的努力是正確的。荷蘭駐渝總領(lǐng)館能夠在這方面發(fā)揮重要作用?！?/p>
