We mark the 75th anniversary of 🇵🇭-🇳🇱 relations this year with my official visit to the Netherlands and a bilateral meeting with Dutch Foreign Minister Tom Berendsen @ministerBZ, strengthening partnerships in trade and investment, renewable energy, water management, and connectivity; and promoting more cultural and academic exchanges between our people in the years to come.

Looking forward to sustained maritime cooperation, both in ASEAN and in the multilateral fora.

4 years since Russia started its full scale war of aggression against #Ukraine I admire the braveness and resilience of the Ukrainian people. In Manila a fashion exhibition by designer Nadya Dzyak shows that creation and innovation continue despite the harsh attacks. 🇳🇱🤝🇺🇦

11 years since the downing of flight #MH17. We solemnly remember those who lost their lives, including 196 🇳🇱 citizens and 3 🇵🇭 citizens. This year marks another step on the road to justice as the 🇪🇺 Court of Human Rights recently ruled that Russia is responsible for the downing.
