WILLEMSTAD - A fruitful discussion took place last weekend between the Curaçao Chinese Union Foundation, which represents the Chinese community in Curaçao, and Representative of the Netherlands in Curaçao, Aruba and Sint Maarten, Erwin Arkenbout about the steps to implement the commitment made by the Dutch State. This is to make EUR 500,000 available for the renovation of the building on Concordiastraat.
This commitment was recently made in the context of the 80th anniversary of the tragic event on 20 April 1942 at Suffisant, in which Chinese sailors lost their lives. With the gesture, the Chinese community and the Netherlands try to connect the past, present and future in a respectful and constructive way.
