First official visit in 300 years
It takes some patience, but after 300 years a Russian leader pays an official visit to The Netherlands. Last Tuesday president Vladimir Putin arrived for a two day state visit.
First stop was the War Memorial on Dam Square where Putin and his wife remembered all Dutch casualties of wars. Next Putin met with high officials and important people of Dutch Corporate life.
Putin said he hopes that his visit will promote trade between Russia and The Netherlands. He claimed the Russians always have admired Dutch entrepreneurship.
Well, thankyouverymuch Mr. Putin!
Putin also paid a visit to Zaandam, where he visit the house in which the Russian tsar Peter the Great stayed some time at the end of the 17th century.
Wednesday evening Putin said his goodbyes to our Queen and off he went.
Well, I say that was worth waiting 300 years. Wasn't it?
