Onze eigen veiligheid is nauw verbonden met de dappere strijd voor vrijheid door Oekraïne, en gaat ook ons aan. Daarom sluit Nederland binnenkort een veiligheidsovereenkomst met Oekraïne voor de komende tien jaar: https://t.co/SaOe1tZ51v 1/2
@MJvanDeelenEU@eu_eeas@Amb_Klement_EU Congrats Marjolijn and Stephan! Great to have you both in these positions, very much looking forward to our cooperation!!
It is of the utmost importance that negotiations quickly lead to a temporary humanitarian ceasefire, and eventually to a sustained cessation of hostilities. This is also essential to all the hostages, who must be unconditionally released as soon as possible.
The situation in Rafah is very worrying. Many civilians in Gaza have fled south. Hard to see how large-scale military operations in such a densely populated area would not lead to many civilian casualties and a bigger humanitarian catastrophe. This is unjustifiable.
Thank you to all who participated in the UN #FirstCommittee side event on Responsible AI in the military domain, co-hosted by @NLatUN and @ROK_Mission. The debate underlined the need to deepen the inclusive and global dialogue on the implications of AI in the military domain. 1/2

This is exactly why the Netherlands wanted to broaden the discussion on AI in the military domain beyond autonomy and AI in weapon systems with the #REAIMsummit last February.
Absolutely fantastic that after a decade of negotiations (and a 38 hour marathon) a historic agreement has been reached to protect the world's oceans.
30% of the seas are to be put into protected areas by 2030.
👏 President Lee and cofacs (incl 🇳🇱)!
