On May 4th, the Netherlands commemorates all victims of war. We remember all – civilians and soldiers – who have been killed in the Kingdom of the Netherlands or anywhere in the world in war situations or during peacekeeping operations since the outbreak of the Second World War.

Vrijheid is niet vanzelfsprekend. De laatste jaren wordt dat duidelijker en duidelijker. Iedere dag moeten we daar aan werken en ons voor inzetten

In Nederland leven wij al 80 jaar in vrijheid. Een groot goed! Geniet van deze bevrijdingsdag!

Wi-Fi was built in Nieuwegein, a Dutch suburb of 60,000 people that nobody outside the Netherlands had heard of

In 1999, Cees Links flew to California and closed the deal with Steve Jobs that put wireless internet in every Apple laptop

He did not own the patents, his employer did

A humble Dutch employee connected the world

Today marks four years of Ukrainian resistance against Russia's war of aggression. A fight for freedom and for our security in Europe.

Strong support is more crucial than ever. As is maximum pressure on Russia.

To our Ukrainian friends I say: we will remain firmly by your side.

On this day in 1958, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg signed the treaty establishing the Benelux Economic Union. 🇧🇪🇳🇱🇱🇺 It enabled free movement of goods, people and labor. An important step toward European cooperation and the future EU.

[EU Trade 🇪🇺 @Trade_EU]

Today, we signed a Partnership Agreement and an Interim Trade Agreement with Mercosur.

Together, we create one of the 🌎’s largest trade zones, covering 720 million consumers, and strengthen cooperation on economic & geopolitical issues

[António Costa @eucopresident]

Today, the EU and Mercosur take a huge leap forward.

With this Agreement, we are not creating spheres of influence, but spheres of shared prosperity.

For more than 700 million citizens. For thousands of companies. For our joint future.

Together, we are stronger.

This is not only about trade—its significance goes well beyond economic benefits.

With the world at a crossroads, we choose the path of openness, multilateral cooperation, and a rules-based international order.

This is the path the EU has chosen to walk together with partners across the globe. Because Europe’s autonomy cannot be built through isolation.
