Noting that 2017 marks the 70th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries, Modi stressed on strengthening the people-to-people contact through Indian diaspora in the Netherlands.

He said the Indian diaspora are the links and bridge between the people of two countries. Modi is set to address them later in the day.

“In the last three years, the Netherlands has emerged as the third largest source of foreign direct investment (FDI). It is a natural partner in our needs and priorities for economic development,” Modi said.

He hoped that the CEOs of Dutch companies will continue to have a positive outlook about India.

Modi said he was looking forward to meeting the King and the Queen of the Netherlands.
