Just spoke with @IntlCrimCourt President Judge Tomoko Akane about the announced US sanctions against the Court. We are aware of the impact these measures may have on the Court and its staff. I ensured Akane of the Netherlands' continued support for the ICC and its employees.

Together with Estonian colleague @Tsahkna and 🇵🇭 🇨🇦 🇯🇵 🇪🇺 🇧🇭, we hosted a session on maritime security. Our oceans connect countries and economies around the world. When sea routes are disrupted, the impact is felt far beyond the water - affecting trade, energy and food prices.

President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Tuesday welcomed the substantial conclusion of negotiations between the Philippines and the European Union (EU) on a free trade agreement (FTA), saying the deal would create more opportunities for trade and investment.
Marcos spoke with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen by phone to discuss the progress of the FTA negotiations.
According to the latest data from the European Commission, bilateral trade between the EU and the Philippines has significant potential to grow beyond current levels, with trade totaling 17.6 billion euros in goods in 2025 and 10.3 billion euros in services in 2024.

Honored to stand alongside Queen Maxima of Netherlands to help launch the UN Group of Friends for Financial Health. As an inaugural co-chair, the Philippines 🇵🇭 is pushing for global teamwork—because when people are financially secure, entire communities thrive. Let’s build a more resilient future together! 🌱

On August 15th 1945 the Second World War officially ended for the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The scars remain, also in Asia.
Today, we remember and honour the victims of this war from the former Dutch Indies - in the Netherlands and worldwide.

✈️ De eerste vlucht in de Airbus A321neo! De Koning is gastvlieger bij KLM. Tot voor kort vloog hij op de Boeing 737. De luchtvaartmaatschappij vervangt dit vliegtuigtype door de stillere en zuinigere Airbus A321neo. Daarom heeft de Koning zich laten omscholen.

On May 4th, the Netherlands commemorates all victims of war. We remember all – civilians and soldiers – who have been killed in the Kingdom of the Netherlands or anywhere in the world in war situations or during peacekeeping operations since the outbreak of the Second World War.
