The
Netherlands has an open and internationally-oriented economy. The
longstanding business relationship between India and The Netherlands
has intensified significantly over the years. The Embassy’s
endeavour is to increase Indo-Dutch cooperation in many fields,
but mainly in trade, investments and Science and Technology.
Historical relations between India and The Netherlands started
with the Dutch East Indian Company (VOC) more then 400 years ago.
Today, the total volume of two way trade between India and The Netherlands
is around 3 billion US$ but growth figures are impressive.
Cooperation in the cultural field is also not of any less importance:
In November 2008 Amsterdam had organized a month-long India Festival
portraying the broad spectrum of the Indian culture. Also, The Netherlands
was a partner country in the just concluded Design Yatra in Mumbai
in early September 2009.
