At home all over the world
Every hour of every day, the 
Ministry of Foreign
Affairs promotes the interests of the Kingdom abroad. The Ministry
coordinates and carries out Dutch foreign policy at its headquarters in The

the Dutch Government communicates with foreign governments and international
organisations.

In The Hague, and at more than 150 embassies and consulates worldwide, staff are actively involved in addressing issues such as poverty reduction, climate change, respect for human rights and the rule of law and eliminating conflict. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also works closely with the other ministries to help shape the Europe of the future and ensure that the Netherlands speaks with one voice in the European Union.
Our expert staff serve Dutch citizens, businesses and institutions in over 150 cities all over the world and in The Hague. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs - at home all over the world.
