The Netherlands was one of the founding members of NATO in 1949. Now, for the first time, it will serve as host country of a NATO summit: on June 24-25, transatlantic leaders will convene in The Hague to pursue unity and action in a time marked by challenge and uncertainty. Whether you are a frequent visitor or are just getting to know us, this historic moment is a great opportunity to take a closer look at The Netherlands’ role in the alliance – and that is precisely what this special edition of Atlantisch Perspectief aims to do.
