The countries within the Kingdom work closely together to fight crime. Minister Dilan Yeşilgöz-Zegerius is also responsible for the justice chain in the Caribbean Netherlands. According to her, cooperation with the countries in the Caribbean region is essential.
“Fast and safe exchange of information between countries is important for the detection of transnational crime. This cooperation in the field of information provides better insight into the criminal relations between the Caribbean and the Netherlands," according to the kingdom government.
The consultations would first take place on Bonaire, but because of the farmers' protests in the Netherlands, Yeşilgöz-Zegerius was unable to travel to the island. The consultation was postponed and is now taking place in the Netherlands.
