We discussed our close economic cooperation.
And we also talked about security in the Arctic and throughout the North Atlantic.
I'm looking forward to continue our work on our ever-closer friendship.

Good exchange with my Danish colleague Lars Løkke Rasmussen. We discussed the importance of strengthened security for the Arctic and Greenland. As NATO Allies, we are committed to stepping up joint efforts. I reiterated that the future of Greenland is up to Denmark and Greenland.

Greenland plays a key role in safeguarding Arctic security. NL encourages dialogue and cooperation between NATO allies to further strengthen our security there. Concerning the future of Greenland it is up to Denmark & Greenland to decide. The NL fully supports our Danish friends.

Vandaag zijn er in Miami weer stappen gezet in de vredesgesprekken over Oekraïne. Wij waarderen de inzet van de Verenigde Staten. NL blijft Oekraïne steunen in hun strijd tegen Russische agressie en voor een duurzame vrede. We moeten de druk op Rusland blijven opvoeren zodat zij hun oorlog stoppen.

Today, further steps were taken in Miami in the peace talks on Ukraine. We appreciate the efforts of the United States. The Netherlands continues to support Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression and for a lasting peace. We must continue to increase the pressure on Russia to end its war.

In this context, the fact that Belgium keeps making windfall revenue on immobilized Russian reserves (via taxation of Euroclear) must be re-examined. Belgium should transfer all that corporate tax income, with retroactive effect starting March 2022, to Ukraine in a transparent manner. Now. (2/2)

One more point actually, about Belgium.
The Belgian authorities have indicated that they were vulnerable to Russian bullying. PM Bart De Wever has been commendably transparent that Putin's direct threats were among his motivations to oppose the Commission's proposal for a Reparations Loan. (1/2)
