Netherlands in Canada 🇳🇱🇨🇦

Women's rights and gender equality are important issues for me. As a minister, as a human being, and as the father of two daughters. #InternationalWomensDay is a day to reflect. But not to be silent. That is why I spoke with three inspiring women: Mekka, Alma, and Linda. 1/2

They all had different stories, but for me, the message was clear: Set the standard and lead by example. And that's what I'll do. Together with partners like them, the Netherlands will keep working on improving the safety of and equal rights for women and girls worldwide. 2/2

Om gestrande Nederlanders in het Midden-Oosten goed te kunnen helpen moeten we weten wie zich waar bevindt en in welke situatie. Ben jij momenteel in de regio? We roepen je nogmaals op om je gegevens te delen. Dat kan via het Crisis Contactformulier: nederlandwereldwijd.nl/crisis/formuli… 1/2

De mogelijkheden tot ondersteuning zullen per land verschillen. Onze ambassades en crisisteams bereiden diverse opties voor. Waar we mogelijkheden zien, zullen we gestrande reizigers ook informeren over manieren om zelfstandig te vertrekken. @MinBZ is 24/7 bereikbaar. 2/2

Important exchange with my EU colleagues today. We deplore Iran’s long-standing destabilising role, reaffirm our solidarity with the Iranian people, and call for an end to further regional escalation. We stand in full solidarity with our partners in the Gulf, Jordan and Iraq.

Prime Minister Carney congratulates @MinPres Rob Jetten on his swearing-in as Prime Minister of the Netherlands. Canada looks forward to deepening the strong partnership between our two countries, built on shared values, security, and transatlantic cooperation.

February 24th marks four years since Russia launched its large-scale invasion of Ukraine. A brutal attack, in violation of all international rules. The Netherlands will continue to support Ukraine, militarily and non-militarily, for as long as necessary. Slava Ukraini. 🇺🇦 🇳🇱

Today marks four years of Russian aggression, resulting in many deaths, widespread destruction and daily fighting. Ukraine can continue to count on our support, now and in the future. During a digital meeting of the Coalition of the Willing, we reiterated this with a large group of international leaders. It is important to do so again today. We discussed important elements of that support, such as security guarantees for Ukraine once peace has been established, so that we can jointly deter further Russian aggression. Moreover, until peace is finally achieved, we must increase and maintain pressure on Russia. We are strongest when we continue to do this together, with Ukraine. Because their struggle is our struggle. And their security is our security. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

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.

They have officially started! Today, we welcomed our new ministers @ministerBZ Tom Berendsen and @ministerBHOS Sjoerd Sjoerdsma to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We look forward to working with them. 📸 RVD
