We may not quote the King, but we may tell what he has to tell us. For example, he said that relations with neighboring countries are most important to him and emphasized the special relationship with our country. Another neighbor, Germany, is also important, but the Germans are not a kingdom.
That is why he finds the state visit to our country so special. According to the king, this can also be seen in the large number of ministers on both sides of the border who will be involved in the activities surrounding the state visit. Although he does not necessarily need a country visit to cement relations or discuss what he wants with his Belgian colleague.
Willem-Alexander said that the relationship between the two countries is one of friendship, which has been going on for decades and this also applies to both royal houses. He even dares to call King Philip. He also stressed that these strong relations will continue in the future as the next generation will have strong friendships. According to the monarch, you can see that at every official meeting in how the royal children interact with each other.
On July 1, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima will take part in the National Slavery Celebration at the Oosterpark in Amsterdam. In the Netherlands, they also called Kiti Koti that day, Surinamese “Broken Chains”. Incidentally, this year also marks the 150th anniversary of the effective end of slavery in Suriname and the Netherlands Antilles.
