Overview
The Consulate General of China in Düsseldorf serves North Rhine-Westphalia — Germany's most populous federal state with over 17 million residents and a major industrial hub. Consul General Yong Yu heads the mission. The Ruhr metropolitan area, the Rhine corridor and the Düsseldorf–Cologne business axis make NRW one of China's most important economic partners within Germany. Düsseldorf itself hosts the largest Japanese and Chinese business communities in continental Europe. The consulate provides consular services and manages visa affairs through the Chinese Visa Application Service Center (CVASC).
