So the saying goes, for good reason. To build strong relationships, other countries must also know their way around the Netherlands. Given the nature of diplomacy, this varies widely. From understanding the main political actors in the Netherlands, social and political developments and the nature of Dutch (negotiation) culture.

The Netherlands is known for its strong ties to international organizations, such as the EU, UN, WTO, IMF and World Bank. From our headquarters in The Hague, we support embassies from different parts of the world based in the Netherlands in building knowledge, connections and skills in learning how to deal with these organizations. 

GeopolitiekNu actively contributes to this. Through our diplomatic network, we help foreign policymakers, diplomats and experts find their way in the Netherlands. Below you can see the diverse ways we help embassy staff, from interns to permanent staff, in better understanding Dutch and international (geo)political actors and developments.
