SABA: - “Visits to Saba always have a lot of content. The discussions with the Executive Council and the Island Council from the onset have been consistent where it comes to the issues and constructive in tone”, said Dutch caretaker of Home Affairs and Kingdom Relations at the end of his visit to Saba on Tuesday, May 18.
“Saba is a true example of it takes two to tango. The local government and the Island Council take the initiative and assume responsibility, and we in The Hague do our part. Talks are always constructive. The mindset is always: what are the problems, and how do we solve them. I like that attitude. But they are also not afraid to be critical, and the Island Council has made it clear to me what they wanted for Saba.”

Kralendijk, Bonaire
THE HAGUE The Dutch government last week decided to again extend the economic support and recovery package for Bonaire, St. Eustatius and Saba. The measures of the so-called emergency package 4.0 for the Caribbean Netherlands will be valid until mid-2021.
In a letter he sent to the Second Chamber of the Dutch Parliament last Friday, State Secretary of Home Affairs and Kingdom Relations Raymond Knops explained that extending the package for the three islands was justified.
“The current economic situation of the Caribbean Netherlands remains worrisome,” he stated, noting that the strict measures for incoming traffic combined with the worldwide strong decrease of travel movements resulted in merely a fraction of the regular number of tourists visiting the islands.
