Nederland wil een drijvende en positieve kracht zijn in de EU. Dat is een rol die past bij Nederland. En het is ook nodig, om te helpen richting te geven aan een Europa dat een stevige positie inneemt in de wereld. We moeten samen werken aan een sterker, veiliger en concurrerender Europa.
Dat heb ik vandaag benadrukt in mijn gesprekken met voorzitters António Costa van de Europese Raad (@eucopresident), Ursula @vonderleyen van de Commissie en Roberta Metsola van het Parlement (@EP_President). Goed om in mijn tweede week al een ronde langs de drie grote EU-instellingen te maken. Ik zie uit naar de constructieve samenwerking en het zetten van eerste stappen bij de Europese Raad later deze maand.

Today marks four years of Ukrainian resistance against Russia's war of aggression. A fight for freedom and for our security in Europe.
Strong support is more crucial than ever. As is maximum pressure on Russia.
To our Ukrainian friends I say: we will remain firmly by your side.

🏳️🌈🇳🇱 Ahead of #IDAHOBIT, we raise the Progress flag as LGBTIQ+ persons still face discrimination and violence.
The Netherlands was the first country to legalise same-sex marriage 25 years ago.
We continue to stand by our believe that everyone should be free to be themselves.
