Ministers Verhagen, Van Middelkoop and Koenders visit Afghanistan
Foreign minister Maxime Verhage, defence minister Bert van Middelkoop and development minister Bert Koenders started a visit to Afghanistan on 19 March to acquaint themselves with the country.

This is the first time that three ministers from a major international player in Afghanistan have visited the country together. The visit emphasises the importance that the Netherlands attaches to an integrated approach encompassing defence, diplomacy, and development cooperation.

The three ministers will learn about developments in the country and affirm the new Dutch Government’s commitment to the Afghan authorities and the NATO partners.
