WILLEMSTAD - Alexandra van Huffelen would like to visit the Caribbean islands first before going to meet with the permanent committee on Kingdom Relations in The Hague.
The brand new State Secretary asks the permanent committee to move the BES debate of February 23 to another date. In order to personally meet the inhabitants and government officials of the Caribbean part of the Kingdom, she plans to visit all the islands as soon as possible.
The first opportunity for this is in February, but apparently the meeting planned for 23rd comes too early. She likes to include the experiences she gains during such a visit in the subsequent committee debate.
