India and The Netherlands will be looking to further strengthen political and economic ties, when the Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte meets Prime Minister Narendra Modi here.
The Prime Minister of Netherlands begins a two-day visit here on June 5.
In a statement, the Netherlands Embassy in India said that Rutte will be accompanied by Minister for Foreign Trade Lilianne Ploumen and Minister for Agriculture Sharon Dijksma along with a trade delegation.
The statement adds that the Agriculture Minister is accompanied by a delegation of more than 80 Dutch companies and research institutes, headed by the chairman of the Confederation of the Netherlands’ Industry and Employers (VNO-NCW) Hans de Boer. The Netherlands is India’s fourth largest trading partner within the EU and it is among the top five investors in India. The trade volume between India and The Netherlands has increased over the last couple of years to almost €6 billion.
There are large opportunities for Dutch companies in India, in particular in agriculture and horticulture, water management, life sciences and healthcare, and sports infrastructure.
