上个世纪三四十年代，荷兰外交官曾在战时的重庆为发展中荷关系付出了不懈努力 荷兰驻渝总领事馆今开馆 实现了在重庆的完美回旋

□ 文/本刊记者 李静

“75年前，我曾经在这座城市生活过，今天我来到这里，像一只活恐龙。此刻我身在重庆，觉得恍然如梦。1939年，我父亲从上海被派遣到重庆，此前他是荷兰驻上海总领馆的领事……”

11月21日，在荷兰驻重庆总领事馆正式开馆仪式上，荷兰前任驻华大使杨乐兰作为特邀嘉宾出席了庆典活动，并在活动上回忆了二战期间随担任荷兰公使馆外交官员的父亲在重庆的生活，分享了其少年时的记忆，情之动容，展示了重庆与荷兰之间交往的历史。荷兰驻华大使贾高博、前任荷兰驻华大使杨乐兰、重庆市常务副市长翁杰明、重庆市政府外事侨务办公室副主任陈高山等出席了仪式，荷兰驻渝总领事谭敬南主持了开馆仪式。

荷兰驻渝总领馆是荷兰在中国继驻北京大使馆、驻沪总领事馆、驻广州总领事馆及驻香港总领事馆之后设立的第五个外交代表处。新设重庆总领事馆的主要使命是开展经济外交，同时也注重民间文化交往。作为荷兰在中国西南地区唯一的总领事馆，该领馆领区范围包括重庆、四川和陕西。

荷兰驻华大使贾高博在开幕仪式上致辞并表示：荷兰驻渝总领馆的开办，不仅让中国西部地区企业有了更为简便的渠道投资荷兰，同时，将为在渝商务出差的荷兰公司提供电脑、网络、打印及扫描设备等工具。此外，还可以从总领事馆工作人员处获取投资中国西部的第一手资料和建议。“荷兰驻渝总领事馆的开馆标志着荷兰又一次在重庆设立外交代表机关，荷兰与重庆的关系深深植根于历史当中，双方的未来一定是光明的。”贾高博说。

“中国西部地区为荷兰提供了广阔的发展空间。”荷兰驻渝总领事谭敬南说，“渝新欧”铁路的开通，将原本相隔万里的两个城市紧密地连接了起来。他称，西部地区作为中国发展最快的地区之一，保持着两位数的增长速度，在农产品、交通、仓储物流、医疗保健、生命科学、环保及清洁技术等领域，与荷兰有巨大的合作潜力。重庆总领事馆已开展各个领域的市场调查，为荷兰及中国公司在生猪养殖、马铃薯种植、园艺、乳业、高科技汽车及运输、集散物流等领域提供了各种机会，荷兰欢迎来自中国西部地区的潜在投资者。

值荷兰驻渝总领事馆开馆当日，由重庆市政府外事侨务办公室、重庆市文化委员会、中国重庆三峡博物馆联合举办的《巴渝旧事君应忆——荷兰高罗佩家族捐赠高罗佩私人收藏文物展》开幕仪式也在重庆三峡博物馆举行，还开设了高罗佩展厅，将其生前的私人收藏向公众免费开放，让这一“中国通”的荷兰大汉学家更为人所熟悉。高罗佩的子女也来到重庆参加父亲的私藏文物展揭幕仪式。

正如杨乐兰在演讲中提到的，“本世纪我一共两次来渝——但是这次与以往不同。今天荷兰驻渝总领事馆正式开放，我们兜了个圈子又回到原点——上个世纪三四十年代的荷兰外交官曾在战时的重庆为发展中荷关系付出了不懈的努力，现在我们面临进一步发展荷兰同本地区关系的新机遇，这证明了他们当初的努力是正确的。荷兰驻渝总领馆能够在这方面发挥重要作用。”
