The year 2021 marks the 60th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the Netherlands and Korea.
"Sixty years is something that's really meaningful in Korea, though I must admit that in the Netherlands, we do 50, 75 and 100. So we had to explain the difference to Hague," Joanne Doornewaard, ambassador of the Netherlands to Korea, said in an April 15 interview with The Korea Times at the embassy.
