Today is a special day in the Netherlands 🇳🇱! Every year, on the third Tuesday of September, King Willem-Alexander ceremonially opens the parliamentary year, while the government presents its budget and plans for the year ahead. This day is known as Budget Day, or Prinsjesdag in Dutch.

Prinsjesdag is a celebration of Dutch democracy and its core principles.

Fun fact: on this special occasion, it is traditional for female ministers and Members of Parliament to wear eye-catching hats! 🎩

Looking back at a successful visit 🇳🇱🇱🇻 on September 9, by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands Tom Berendsen.

The Minister, together with the Latvian Minister of Foreign Affairs Baiba Braže, travelled to the Terehova border crossing, where they were briefed by Chief of the State Border Guard, General Guntis Pujāts. Our Minister underlined that Latvia’s borders concern also Dutch security, as the country’s eastern border is the external border of both the EU and NATO.

Back in Riga, the bilateral meeting between the Dutch and Latvian delegations focused on EU affairs, security and defence, and continued support for Ukraine.

Last but not least, the Minister spoke with students at SSE Riga, where he shared the Dutch perspective and engaged in a discussion on current geopolitical challenges.

The visit highlighted the strong ties between the Netherlands and Latvia and our commitment to deepening cooperation.
