Azerbaijan and the Netherlands will sign an agreement to promote mutual investment protection.
Tuesday is a momentous day for the Netherlands - the queen gave her throne to her son, the Ambassador of the Netherlands to Azerbaijan Arjen Uijterlinde said on Tuesday at a press conference dedicated to the Day of Queen of the Netherlands.
According to him, from now on, the country will celebrate no the Queen's Day, but the Day of the King, and this date will be marked on April 27, instead of April 30.
Uijterlinde also touched on bilateral relations between Azerbaijan and the Netherlands.
According to him, the trade turnover between the two countries amounted to 300 thousand Euros last year, increasing by half compared with 2011.
The Ambassador stressed closer ties between the two countries.
"A number of official visits have taken place in the past and in recent years. We tried to expand economic ties. A visit of two trade missions of the Netherlands to Azerbaijan and the signing of the agreement between the two countries on the promotion and reciprocal protection of investments are expected this year. Overall, the Netherlands and Azerbaijan may closely cooperate and exchange experiences in the field of energy, agriculture, water supply and sports," the Ambassador said.
