The three PM's started the Summit of the Benelux, a politico-economic union of the three neighboring states, on Wednesday at the Catshuis in The Hague, the official residence of Dutch PM Rutte, to speak about cross-border issues, such as the economy, transport and security. After that they had a working dinner at the Gemeentemuseum, an art museum in The Hague, in which they mainly spoke on sustainability and innovation, the central themes of the Summit, with business and science experts.
With the United Nations Climate Change Conference currently taking place in Bonn, Germany, the Benelux countries expressed a common ambition in making an energy transition, from polluting emissions to a world of more sustainable energy.
"The Climate Agreement of Paris is, as liberal Prime Ministers, an enormous opportunity to tackle global warming, while creating additional growth and jobs," Rutte said.
"The global cooperation is still in the early stages on climate change, but the Benelux also wants to take a leading role in the European Union on this subject."
