The Netherlands and #Jordan have a long history of excellent relations. This month, our ties became even stronger. Thanks to Jordan's help, we were able to quickly and safely airlift Dutch citizens from Sudan. Today, I got to thank my dear colleague @AymanHsafadi in person. 1/2

Bij de evacuatieoperatie uit Soedan waren talloze @Defensie en @MinBZ collega's betrokken, in binnen- en buitenland. Zo ook het ambassadepersoneel in #Amman. Zij hebben zich onvermoeibaar ingezet om Nederlanders en anderen in veiligheid te brengen via Jordanië. 1/2

Great that @UNDP and Boskalis signed a contract to start the operation in the Red Sea to avoid an environmental, humanitarian & economic disaster. The Netherlands worked hard to mobilize funds for the #FSOSafer operation, and will keep helping the @UN to bring this to a good end.
