Yesterday, I attended the Transatlantic Bridge Awards, an amazing celebration of #EuropeDay and the US-EU Partnership. Thank you Jovita Neliupšienė Ambassador Jean-Arthur Régibeau for the invitation. Congratulations to the honorees! #WeAreDC

🇪🇺 On #EuropeDay , we celebrate the importance of the European Union for our shared values and prosperity. The Netherlands is committed to a resolute and resilient EU. As European citizens, we can exercise our right to vote in the European Parliament elections from 6 to 9 June.

#DYK that in 1950, the EU declared freedom, democracy, and equality for everyone as fundamental to its founding? Respect for human dignity, human rights, and the rule of law are some values shared among all 27 member countries of the EU.

I participated yesterday in a powerful panel discussion on Michael King's documentary #TheRescuers , which highlights heroic diplomats like Jan Zwartendijk, who risked everything to save thousands of Jews during #WWII .

An inspiring exploration of the “mystery of goodness.”
