NSTworld Dutch king apologises for violence during Indonesian independence war

The king made the remarks during a state visit to the country with Queen Maxima after a ceremony with Indonesian President Joko Widodo in the capital Jakarta.

“The past cannot be erased, and will have to be acknowledged by each generation in turn,” the king said in a joint statement. “I do so in the full realisation that the pain and sorrow of the families affected continue to be felt today.” In 2013, the Dutch government publicly apologised to Indonesia for mass killings by its army in the 1940s war of independence, in the first general apology for all executions.
