The visit to Turkmenistan was followed by a State Visit of President of India to the Kingdom of Netherlands from 4-7 April 2022 at the invitation of His Majesty King Willem – Alexander and Her Majesty Queen Maxima. During the visit to the Netherlands, the President held discussions with His Royal Majesties and H.E. Mr. Mark Rutte, Prime Minister of the Netherlands.
The visit was significant as during 2022, India and the Netherlands are celebrating 75 years of the establishment of diplomatic relations. In 2021, during the Virtual Summit held between the Prime Ministers of the two countries, a Strategic Partnership on Water was launched to enhance the level of engagement between the two sides in this important sector. Cooperation in sectors such as agriculture, health, urban development, science and technology are other important pillars of the bilateral relationship. The Netherlands is also an important economic and commercial partner of India with the country being India’s fourth largest FDI source. It also hosts the largest Indian diaspora in continental Europe.
