One would say that #Japan has sufficient #fish, but there is someone importing horse mackerel from the #Netherlands. Quite a catch, because he won a prize at the Competitive Exhibition of Processed Marine Products for his Snow Flower Moon Deep Fried Horse Mackerel. Bon appétit!

🥇🥈🥉Ongelooflijk trots. Tien keer goud, zeven keer zilver en drie keer brons. Heel Nederland heeft meegeleefd, meegehuild en meegevierd met onze Olympiërs in Milaan. Zij kleurden Milaan oranje en behaalden de hoogste positie ooit voor Nederland tijdens de Winterspelen. Vandaag heb ik alle Nederlandse medaillewinnaars mogen bedanken en toespreken. Zij hebben Nederland laten stralen!

4 Years ago I was posted to Moscow and I remember waking up to learn that the invasion had started. Today this unjustified aggression hasn’t ended yet, with cancerous consequences spreading globally. EU ambassadors and friends assembled to commemorate and confirm their support.

Tomorrow it will be four years to the day since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Ukraine is fighting every day for its freedom. And the war in Ukraine is about the security of Europe as a whole. On my first day as prime minister I called President @ZelenskyyUa to assure him that Ukraine can count on the Netherlands’ undiminished support. 🇳🇱🤝🇺🇦
