Dear friends,

This sign is dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the diplomatic relations between the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

During this time, we have achieved a lot. Our cooperation in politics, economy and culture is getting stronger year by year. All this became possible thanks to the citizens of the two countries. They are the ones who take our ties to the next level.
The Dutch thinker Erasmus once said: “He who does good to himself does good to his friend”, and we are deeply convinced that we will continue to do good deeds for the prosperity of friendship between our peoples.

The opening ceremony was held by the Ambassador of the Republic of Kazakhstan A. Zhumagaliyev and E. Weststrate Director of the Department of Europe of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
