🇨🇻🇳🇱 Today, the Mayor of @Rotterdam Ahmed Aboutaleb, together with Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs 🇳🇱, handed over the keys to two fire trucks to Mayor Carvalho of Praia, #CapeVerde . The fire trucks will be used in cities Praia and Mindelo and signify the ties between the Netherlands and Cape Verde.

This is a very serious issue. The Netherlands fully supports Germany in addressing this potentially severe threat from Russia, an important action for the security of Europe. GermanForeignOffice

I welcome the adoption of EU sanctions against violent settlers on the occupied West Bank. The recent increase of settler violence is unacceptable and needs to stop immediately. 1/3 consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press…

#HumanRights are for everyone, no matter who you are or whom you love. After Uganda’s Constitutional Court’s confirmation of the Anti-Gay-Law, we, European Human Rights and Gender Ambassadors, express our deepest solidarity with the LGBTIQ+-community in Uganda. 🏳️‍🌈 Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs 🇳🇱

A well-deserved recognition for Eliot Higgins and Bellingcat's groundbreaking work in citizen journalism.

Congratulations, Eliot Higgins and @Bellingcat!🏅

We are closely monitoring the situation in #Iran . The recent developments in the Middle East are deeply worrying. It is of paramount importance that further escalation is prevented.

I am concerned by the adoption of the draft law on 'transparency of foreign influence' in a first hearing by the Georgian parliament. It could impede crucial work of civil society and media. This law does not reflect EU standards and could compromise Georgia’s EU path.

Great to welcome our EU Indo-Pacific colleagues to The Hague for a new round of talks. The Netherlands continues to intensify cooperation with partners in the EU and the region across many areas, including capacity building, economic cooperation and people to people contact.

Pleasure to welcome my colleague José Manuel Albares to Amsterdam on the occasion of the Spanish state visit, and to build on our strong bilateral relations. As trusted EU and NATO partners, we cooperate closely on today's most pressing issues, including Ukraine and the Middle East. 1/2

Following Iran's attack on Israel, we convened online with EU Foreign Ministers. Glad to be joined live in The Hague by my Spanish colleague José Manuel Albares. We condemn Iran's actions in the strongest terms. I welcomed the broad support for expansion of the UAV sanctions regime. 1/3
