It feels like I'm back in time. In the traditional Kurdish restaurant Nur Nawroz in The Hague we catch up with @vvanwilgenburg and @BokanSaeed about the developments in #Kurdistan. With of course many delicious Kurdish dishes that I always miss!

The Swiss ambassador Corinne Cicéron Bühler has just started in the Netherlands and is already cycling to receptions in the rain ☔️. That's what I call modern (cycling) diplomacy! @SwissAmbNL

It was a real pleasure to officially welcome the President of the Republic of Cape Verde, Jose Maria Pereira Neves, at Schiphol Airport. In the coming days he has various meetings and cultural events in the Netherlands. #Kaapverdië #CaboVerde

Spring in the Netherlands! Living near the #Keukenhof, it is easy for me to regularly visit this most beautiful spring-flowering bulb garden in the world. For sure a must see if you visit this area.

Like father, like son… It's really nice and special that my son Alexander also started working for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Hopefully he will enjoy this as much as I do.

PM @MinPres is a friend and partner. The Kurdistan Region and the Netherlands have a special relationship. They back our entrepreneurs and small businesses; Peshmerga reforms and agriculture strategy. We talked about expanding our partnership at #wef23. #KurdistanInDavos

An annual ritual for the Palestinians is the lighting of the Christmas tree outside the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. Here in The Hague, together with some ambassadors, I was invited by the Head of the @PalMissionNL Ambassador Rawan Sulaiman to also light the tree.

Among writers. @yvokuhling has written a great thriller about Kurds and the UN. My book is a thriller about a diplomatic conspiracy in Yemen. Glad we can finally give our own book to each other. Both books can still be ordered and are of course must reads!

The Kurdistan connection in the Netherlands: catching up with @vvanwilgenburg while eating a typical Dutch dish (boerenkool met worst). Good to talk about the developments in Kurdistan and Iraq again.
