Bank of China, one of the country's leading lenders, has committed itself to renminbi operations both in the Netherlands and the rest of the world, as the global economy picks up and China sustains long-term stable growth, said its board chairman, Tian Guoli.

Tian stressed the commitment at an economic and trade forum on Sunday at which visiting President Xi Jinping was giving a keynote speech.

"For a long time, Bank of China has regarded the Netherlands as one of the overseas markets that has the highest development potential," Tian said.
