PHL, The Netherlands ties ‘very good’ after Joma’s passing–Dutch minister

The Dutch Foreign Affairs Minister said relations between The Netherlands and the Philippines are “very good” after the demise of Communist Party of the Philippines founder Jose Maria Sison in December 2022.

“The Netherlands takes the fight against terrorism very seriously. And we did take action,” Bruins Slot told reporters in Manila during a news conference. “We also started court sessions and the Dutch court ruled that Mr. Sison could not be deported, unfortunately. The Dutch state must honor the rulings of the court. Perhaps you have heard that Mr. Sison passed away last December,” she added.

Sison passed away in Utrecht last December 2022 due to heart failure. His remains were not repatriated to the Philippines.
