10 November 2015 - Philippine Ambassador to the Netherlands Jaime Victor B. Ledda conducted a briefing on October 29 for 15 law students from Tilburg University on Philippines-Netherlands Bilateral Relations, and the functions of the Philippine Embassy in The Hague.

Highlighted in the briefing were the enduring and robust economic, cultural, and political relations between the Philippines and the Netherlands, and the South China Sea/West Philippine Sea arbitration case at the Permanent Court of Arbitration.  Ambassador Ledda had an interactive session with the students as they fielded questions on the work of the Embassy and shared their perceptions about the Philippines.

The visit of the students to the Philippine Embassy is part of their trip, “A Day in The Hague.” The trip aims to expose Tilburg University students to diplomatic missions and to understand how they function and relate with the host country, the Netherlands, and international organizations based in The Hague.  END
