       Benelux 60th anniversary celebrations
       By: fragrance78 Date: May 24, 2018, 7:08 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       On the afternoon of Tuesday 5 June 2018 His Majesty the King
       will attend the celebrations marking the 60th anniversary of the
       Benelux. His Majesty King Philippe of the Belgians and His Royal
       Highness Henri, Grand Duke of Luxembourg, will also be in
       attendance.
       Before the official programme commences, the three heads of
       state will meet with the prime ministers and foreign ministers
       of the Benelux countries during a luncheon at the Royal Palace
       in Brussels. In the morning, the prime ministers will attend
       meetings as part of the Benelux Summit.
       In 1958 Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg signed the
       treaty establishing the Benelux Economic Union, which laid the
       foundations for broader and deeper economic cooperation between
       the three countries. In 2008 these links were confirmed once
       again, under a new name – the Benelux Union – and a focus on
       three themes: the internal market and economic union;
       sustainability; and justice and home affairs.
