Lahey Büyükelçiğinde düzenlenen resepsiyona Büyükelçi Sadık Arslan ve eşi Senem Arslan ev sahipliği yaptı. Cumhuriyeti’nin 91. kuruluş yıl dönümü için düzenlenen resepsiyona eski Hollanda Dışişleri Bakanı Ben Bot, İşçi Partisi (PvdA) milletvekilleri Keklik Yücel, Tunahan Kuzu, Selçuk Öztürk ve Sultan Günal Gezer’in yanı sıra çok sayıda ülkenin büyükelçileri, siyasi ve askeri temsilciler ile Hollanda’da yaşayan Türk vatandaşları katıldı.

Cumhurbaşkanı Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’ın Lahey Büyükelçiliği’ne gönderdiği mesajın okunmasının ardından bir konuşma yapan Büyükelçi Sadık Arslan Karaman’ın Ermenek ilçesinde meydana gelen maden kazasından dolayı bayramı buruk bir şekilde kutladıklarını söyledi. Arslan daha sonra; “Yurt dışında hem dini hem de milli bayramların özel bir yeri var. Bayramları yurtdışında yaşayan sizler daha yürekten hissediliyorsunuz. Cumhuriyetin ilanının 91. yıldönümü kutlamalarına ev sahipliği yapmaktan ise mutluluk duyuyorum” diye konuştu.

Excellencies,

Esteemed Dutch Friends,

Distinguished Representatives of the Dutch-Turkish Community,

Representatives of the Turkish Business Community,

It is an honour to welcome you to the centennial anniversary celebration of the Republic of Türkiye. Thank you for being with us.

In 1919, Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and his comrades-in-arms, all the brave men and women, heroes and fighters have started an independence war which ended with establishment of the Republic in 1923 and made it possible for us today to celebrate 100^th anniversary of our independence.

We have come a long way in 100 years. And Türkiye is now entering its second century with a vision, its hard-working people, vibrant economy, contributions to the rule based world order as a responsible member of the international community.

This year we celebrated the 500^th anniversary of the foundation of the Foreign Ministry. Diplomatic relations between the Dutch Republic and the Ottoman Empire had started also almost 500 years ago. First Dutch envoy was sent in 1612. Two centuries later, in 1813, there was another envoy, Ambassador Tesla, of whom we have the honour to host his descendants tonight.

Türkiye has always attached special importance to its relations with the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It was not a coincidence that following the establishment of the Republic in 1923, one of the first friendship treaties was concluded with the Netherlands in 1924.

Our nations founded the Council of Europe, became staunch NATO Allies, worked together in the UN peace keeping missions and other organisations such as the OSCE, the OECD and the OPCW.

Our countries share the same determination to overcome issues in the world. We have several bilateral dialogue mechanisms. One of them, the Turkish-Dutch Wittenburg Conferences have started herein this place in 2008.

We share a bilateral trade volume exceeding 10 billion Euros. In terms of foreign direct investment (FDI), the Netherlands is the biggest investor in Türkiye. Likewise, Turkish investments in the Netherlands are also at the top in terms of worldwide Turkish FDI. We hosted 1.2 million Dutch friends last year. Dutch-Turkish community of almost half a million has become a great contributor here in the last 60 years.

While concluding, I would like to thank for the solidarity that the Netherlands has extended to us in the earthquakes this year. My family and I have arrived to the Hague 5 days before the devastating earthquakes of 6 February. Our Dutch Allies deployed the Urban Search and Rescue Team, the Military Airborne Medevac Unit and numerous NGOs immediately. Those brave men and women are with us tonight. I thank our Dutch friends once more. Like the Turkish aid to the Dutch during the floods in 1916, 1953 and 2021, the assistance of the Dutch government, people and the Turkish-Dutch community will not be forgotten.

I also would like to thank to the team of the Turkish Residence who prepared samples of Turkish cuisine as well as our kind sponsors such as the Turkish Airlines, Bereket Baklava and Elka Food.

Once again,

 (Daamıs en heeerın, velkom!)                             Dames en heren, welkom!

(Velkom en bedankt dat yö bay ons bent!) Welkom en bedankt dat je bij ons bent!

Dank u wel.
