Ties between the Netherlands and Japan are good and go back a long way: we have enjoyed diplomatic relations for 426 years. The importance of our solid and unique partnership will be reaffirmed by the Emperor of Japan’s upcoming state visit. This morning I spoke with Prime Minister @takaichi_sanae about our good trade relations, cooperation on security and defence, and the importance of coordinating economic security. As partners, we are working ever more closely together to tackle shared challenges.
