“Laat het heel duidelijk zijn dat er in ons land geen plaats is voor antisemitisme. Geen plaats voor intimidatie, haat of geweld tegen welke religieuze minderheid dan ook.” Terugkijken: het inleidend statement van de wekelijkse persconferentie van minister-president Rob Jetten met aandacht voor de brandstichting bij een synagoge in Rotterdam. Ook ging het over het instellen van een basisverzekering voor zelfstandigen bij arbeidsongeschiktheid, over projecten om het duurzaam verdienvermogen van Nederland te versterken en een terugblik op de ontwikkelingen afgelopen week rondom Iran.

An international partnership was signed in The Hague aimed at transforming food and fibre value chains. I have seen in #AndhraPradesh the work of partner @RaddisCotton ‘transforming the cotton value chains’ & the positive impact on farmers and nature. @ncbn @NLWorks_nl @AgriGoI
