11月1日——2日，北布拉邦省省长范德东克（Van de Donk）率团访问江苏，并出席在南京举办的江苏省与北布拉邦省结好25周年庆祝活动。
在庆祝活动之后，范德东克接受了江苏国际频道《Hello Jiangsu》栏目的专访。本期TOP TALK，我们便以此为契机，同范德东克省长一起谈谈北布拉邦省同江苏25年的友好往来。
8次来访江苏 见证25年巨变
这次是范德东克第八次探访江苏。作为江苏人民的老朋友、好朋友，范德东克省长曾在2017年获得“江苏省荣誉居民”的称号。这个称号不仅仅代表了北布拉邦省和江苏省的深厚情谊，更体现了范德东克省长个人对江苏省的热爱。范德东克告诉记者：“能获得这个称号，我很荣幸。这个称号也是北布拉邦省同江苏，以及我个人同江苏深厚感情的见证。”
This is Van de Donk's eighth visit to Jiangsu. As an old friend and a good friend of Jiangsu, King'sCommissioner Van de Donk was awarded the honorary citizenship of Jiangsu in 2017. The title not only represents the deep friendship between Noord Brabant and Jiangsu, but also reflects the personal love of Van de Donk for Jiangsu Province. He told Hello Jiangsu: "That is a great honor indeed. But that felt as a kind of confirmation of the special feelings we have between Noord Brabant and Jiangsu, and also, I, personally."

谈到25年来两地的发展时，范德东克省长骄傲地说道：“我们两个省份都发生了许多引人注目的变化，比如科技的腾飞，人民生活质量的提高。我认为我们没必要太谦虚，我们就是世界的榜样。”
When talking about the development of the two provinces over the past 25 years, Van de Donk said proudly: "So many impressive changes in both of our provinces. The quality of life has improved. Technology is changing our lives profoundly. And I think that we should not be too modest. I would say we are an example for the world."
本次来访，范德东克省长还前去参观了南京博物院。“虽然我已经8次到访江苏，但每次日程都很紧，这是我第一次能有几个小时的自由时间。我选择去南京博物院。”当范德东克得知在南京博物院的参观人群中，年轻人占到了70%以上时，不禁连连称赞。他认为博物馆对于年轻人了解本国文化起着不可忽略的重要作用，“博物馆不仅记载着历史，也蕴含着未来。如果你不知道你从哪里来，你就不会知道你要去向何方。”
Van de Donk also went to visit the Nanjing Museum this time. "I've been 8 times here with a full program. And it's the first time that actually I have a few hours that I can choose myself what to do. And I choose the Nanjing Museum." Van de Donk was amazed by the fact that more than 70 percent of the visitors to the Nanjing Museum are young people. He believes that museums play an important role in young people's understanding of their own culture, "And museums are not only important for history but also for the future. If you do not know where you come from, you are not going to know where you are heading for."
签署备忘录促进深层次合作交流
结好25年以来，江苏省同北布拉邦省在经贸、科技、生态和文化领域都开展了广泛的交流与合作。在结好25周年庆祝活动上，江苏省省长吴政隆同北布拉邦省省长范德东克共同签署两省关于进一步增进友好关系的备忘录。省科技厅、泰州市、扬州市、南通市崇川区、无锡商业职业技术学院分别与北布拉邦省经济发展署、奥斯市、布雷达市、奥斯特豪特市、荷兰威廉一世国王学院签署协议，涉及高新技术产业合作、友好城市交往、教育合作等多个领域。
Since the formal establishment of friendly relationship between Jiangsu Province and Noord Brabant Province in 1994, the two provinces have facilitated frequent visits between government officials, as well as exchanges and cooperation in the fields of economy, trade, science and technology, culture, and agriculture. During the celebration, Governor Wu and King's Commissioner Van de Donk also signed the memorandum on further enhancing friendly relations between the two provinces. They also witnessed the signing of agreements between provincial government departments, sister cities and universities.
“这些备忘录背后所代表的合作意向和未来可能促成的合作成果非常重要。”范德东克说道，“昨天我同北布拉邦的一些企业家聊天，他们说他们很愿意来江苏进行交流和商业合作。”
"These signatures on these memorandums are （not）just paper, paper about intentions and practical results," said Van de Donk. "I witnessed yesterday as I spoke with many entrepreneurs from Noord Brabant that have been joining our mission this time. Entrepreneurs are happy to seek opportunities to exchange ideas, to do business with each other."
范德东克省长也着重强调两地教育层面的交流合作。他很高兴能够看到南京大学和蒂尔堡大学正在就双学位培养项目进行合作。他同时也鼓励年轻人们抓住机会，走出国门，看看外面的世界。“他们真的不应该只呆在自己的城市里，应该去国外看看他们还不知道的新文化，这对他们的发展非常重要。”
Van de Donk was pleased to see that Nanjing University and Tilburg University are cooperating on a dual degree program. He said: "They should really not stay only in their own city, but go abroad and look at new cultures that they don't yet know, which is very important for their development, I would say."

“这是庆祝活动中非常有意义的一部分。他的画作里，有一条彩虹和来自世界各地的小朋友，非常震撼。”范德东克十分感动，夸赞这幅代表了中荷青年友谊的画，并称陈虹旭为“小梵高”。他说：“我会把这幅画带回荷兰去，挂到北布拉邦省的政府大楼里。”
"That was a very interesting part of the ceremony yesterday. The boy's painting has a rainbow with all the children of the world, which was a very compelling and moving image. And it was well done." Van de Donk was moved by the painting, which represents the friendship between young people from China and the Netherlands. He said Chen Hongxu was the "young Van Gogh". "I will take it with me to the Netherlands, to Noord Brabant, and it will be in a beautiful place in the house of the province," said Van de Donk.

范德东克省长也借此机会向记者介绍了北布拉邦省的美丽风光和丰厚文化底蕴。“北布拉邦省是画家梵高的家乡。你不仅有机会在博物馆看到他的作品，甚至可以亲临现场，到他画风车和水车的地方。”
Van de Donk also took the opportunity to introduce the beautiful scenery and rich cultural heritages of Noord Brabant Province. "Noord Brabant is the home of the painter Van Gogh. You can see his works in museums, and you can also visit the places where he draws windmills and watermills."

范德东克真挚地邀请江苏人民前往北布拉邦这一美丽的省份，体验传统与现代的交融。“埃因霍温市市长告诉我，他已经邀请他的姐妹城市——南京市的市长11月来到埃因霍温的智慧港，观看一场名为Glow的灯光秀。在这场灯光秀里，你可以看到传统与现代的融合。”
Van de Donk sincerely invites people from Jiangsu to visit the beautiful province of Noord Brabant to experience the blending of tradition and modernity. "The mayor of Eindhoven told me that he has invited the mayor of Nanjing, his sister city, to come over in November for what they call 'Glow', which is an exciting light show in the city of Eindhoven on the Brainport area. And there you see new blends of high technological culture with old fashioned and traditional image, very special to participate."
范德东克还强力推介了每年在埃因霍温市举办的荷兰设计周。“非常激动人心，来自不同设计学院的年轻人会在这里把他们的设计理念传达给全世界。所以不要犹豫，来北布拉邦游玩一定是值得的。”
Van de Donk also introduced the annual Dutch design week held in Eindhoven. "It is a thrilling experiment where all young people, students from design academies, present their new ideas to the world. So, don't hesitate to come because it will be worthwhile."
