  • India – Netherlands Relations Since 1947, Indo-Dutch Relations Have
    India – Netherlands Relations Since 1947, Indo-Dutch relations have been excellent, marked by strong economic and commercial ties, based on foundation of shared democratic ideals, pluralism, multiculturalism and rule of law. Indo-Dutch relations have been multi-faceted and encompass close cooperation in various areas including political, economy, academics and culture. Since the early 1980s, the Dutch Government has identified India as an important economic partner. The relations underwent further intensification after India’s economic liberalisation in the 1990s with growing recognition of India as an attractive trade and investment partner. In light of convergence of economic and political interests, both countries see value in enhanced dialogue and have constantly striven to strengthen bilateral relations by leveraging each other’s strengths and are currently collaborating in strengthening and expanding the framework of cooperation in various areas like trade and investment, science and technology, information and communication technology, education and culture. There have been periodic high-level exchanges including the visit of Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh to Netherlands in 2004, followed by visits of Dutch Prime Minister Mr. Jan Peter Balkenende in January 2006 and the second State visit of Queen Beatrix to India in 2007. Other visits include:- Visits from Netherlands: November 2007: Foreign Trade Minister Mr. Frank Heemskerk. February 2008: Transport & Water Mgmt Minister Mr. Camiel Eurlings February 2009: Foreign Trade Minister Mr. Frank Heemskerk October 2009: Social Affairs & Employment Minister Mr. Piet H.
