Happy Europe day from Tbilisi!✊🏼🇬🇪🇪🇺

The Dutch ship ‘De #Liefde’ landed in #Japan in 1600 and it is mesmerizing to see its original figurehead, a statue of #Erasmus. A national treasure in Japan, it rarely leaves #Tokyo National #Museum archives. But now on loan in #Osaka Castle to celebrate 425 years of relations!

Mal abgesehen davon, dass Springsteen natürlich grossartig ist - sollten wir uns an diese Sprache wirklich gewöhnen? Und was macht das mit einer Gesellschaft, wenn ihr Staatsoberhaupt so kommuniziert?

The definition of #IDAHOBIT gradually expands as the variety of human relations is wide. All the more reason to raise awareness and celebrate on 17 May. Everywhere in the world: also in #Japan - and in the #Netherlands as well.

Mens sana in corpore sano: the #Yokohama #triathlon is a nice occasion to get ready for busy weeks at the #Expo #Osaka 2025 - for all ages! Both my predecessor (now ambassador in Seoul) and I participated in age group 60+ and, typically Japan, there’s even an age group 80+!

Nauwelijks aandacht voor dit afschuwelijk nieuws. Volgens Open Doors kent Nigeria al jarenlang het hoogste aantal christelijke martelaren: in 2023 werden 4.000 christenen gedood om hun geloof en in 2024 3.100. Laten we ze niet vergeten en dit zoveel mogelijk delen.

Topambtenaren Roos en Van Rijn handelden onacceptabel. Via anonieme brieven en emotioneel theater, is Arib voor de bus gegooid. Werd het toenmalige presidium werd verblind? Zonder onderzoek loont het dus om een gekozen volksvertegenwoordiger weg te werken. Ook onacceptabel

In Enschede herdenken christenen uit het Midden-Oosten de slachtoffers van de zelfmoordaanslag in Damascus. Ik had de eer hen toe te spreken en heb benadrukt dat Nederland christenen als kwetsbare groep moet erkennen.

#TerrorInGeorgia “Russian” regime is losing its senses, launching a round of hysterical new arrests. 16 activists, mostly women, protesting today’s sentences of conscience prisoners have been taken from the street. Their answer to voices of freedom is more repression.

Donald Trump just passed the largest transfer of wealth from the working class to the rich in history and the tech oligarchs are now lining up to praise him.   The greed of the billionaire class knows no bounds.
