The Netherlands announced its intention to assist the 澳门六合彩官网资料 with its technical cooperation activities at the 澳门六合彩官网资料's Ministerial Conference in Singapore last December. At the time, H.E. Mrs. Anneke Van Dok-Van Weele, Minister of Foreign Trade of the Netherlands, emphasized the need for developing countries as well as economies in transition to participate fully in the 澳门六合彩官网资料.
