This is a proud moment for the Netherlands: with the opening of the Public Forum, the #NATOsummit has officially begun. This is the first time that a NATO Summit is taking place in our country, a milestone for a country that has always highly valued transatlantic cooperation.

This #NATOsummit comes at a crucial time for global security. We hit the ground running at the NATO Public Forum. Mark Rutte and Dick Schoof opened the floor to experts, politicians, opinion makers and civil society organisations, discussing developments that impact our security.

On the margins of the #NATOSummit, The King and Queen Maxima received Prime Minister Mark Carney and Ms. Diana Fox Carney. They discussed the enduring friendship between Canada and the Netherlands, deepening co-operation, free trade and innovation between both countries.

Thank you, Dick Schoof, for hosting today’s critical NATO Summit here in the Netherlands.    At this hinge moment for the world and for Euro-Atlantic security, our Alliance is united.

Honoured to meet with Their Majesties the King and Queen of the Netherlands and reaffirm Canada’s enduring friendship with the Dutch people. Our nations share a strong bond — from the liberation of the Netherlands in the Second World War to decades of close partnership since.

Good to meet for the first time with new FM Anita Anand. These times call for close cooperation with trusted friends like Canada on security, trade and investment. We stand united in our resolve to support Ukraine and add pressure on Russia. Keen to build on our strong ties.

That's a wrap! The #NATOsummit in The Hague was the largest logistical and security operation ever held in the Netherlands. Thank you to all our allies, partners and everyone involved behind the scenes for a very successful summit.

🎇🍁Happy Canada Day! 🍁🎇 Each year on July 1st, our mission network celebrates this special day with our Canadian friends and family and celebrate the vibrant history, diverse culture, and incredible achievements of this wonderful country. #OhCanada 🇨🇦
