King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands will attend on September 30, 2019, a seminar on “India and the Netherlands. Past, Present and Future” jointly organized by the Royal Asian Art Society in the Netherlands and the Embassy of India.
The event will take place at the prestigious Rijksmuseum (National Museum) Amsterdam. A book on the same topic authored by the Indian Ambassador to the Netherlands, Venu Rajamony, will be released on the occasion. King Willem-Alexander will receive the first copy of the book.
The Seminar is a curtain raiser to the upcoming State Visit of the Dutch Royals to India and will feature talks by Hans de Boer, Chairman, VNO-NCW (Dutch Employers Federation); Marens Engelhard, Director of the National Archives of the Netherlands; Taco Dibbits, Director, Menno Fitski, Head of the Asian Art Department, Martine Gosselink, Head of Department of History of the Rijksmuseum; and Pieter Ariens Kappers, Chairman Royal Asian Art Society of the Netherlands on various aspects of history, culture and business relations between India and the Netherlands.
Ambassador Venu Rajamony’s book is an encyclopaedia of the cross-cultural legacy between India and the Netherlands. It highlights the significant place India occupied in the Dutch world view and the relationship between the two nations secured by strong economic ties and vibrant exchanges in the fields of culture, sports, and yoga.
The book presents vivid snapshots of relations between the two nations over the centuries. It brings to life the compelling personalities whose contributions shaped the Indo-Dutch discourse and also skilfully strings together nuggets of little-known information. It reminds that India and the Netherlands, above all, share a cultural and intellectual resilience, which has outlasted the challenges of change. It also emphasises the bilateral strength of present-day ties, and the infinite mutual potential that the future holds for India and the Netherlands
