Deutschland und die Niederlande - enge Partner in und für Europa

Today, governmental and civic relations between Germany and the Netherlands are more friendly and multifaceted than ever before. In 2020, the Netherlands was Germany's most important trading partner in the EU for the fourth time in a row and the second most important worldwide. The two countries also work closely together in the fields of culture, science and international security (NATO). For example, defense policy cooperation, especially in the cooperation and integration of the armed forces, is considered exemplary in Europe. We will discuss the German-Dutch relationship and take a joint look at the two countries and their role in the European Union.
