Bahamas And Netherlands Strengthen Ties,
by Phillip Morton, Investors Offshore.com
Wednesday, February 18, 2009
The Bahamas is seeking the support of the Netherlands for a level playing field
regarding the tax recovery policy of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation
and Development (OECD), as both countries seek closer ties on a number of diplomatic
matters.
Arthur Foulkes, Bahamas Deputy to the Governor
General, held meetings with Regina Veronica Maria Jones-Bos, Ambassador of the
Netherlands to The Bahamas, in a ceremony at Government House on Thursday, February
12.
“The Bahamas values the cordial relations that exist between the Netherlands
and looks forward to continued friendly ties. During this time of economic recession,
continued enhanced cooperation can help to mitigate the negative impact on our
tourism and financial services industries,” said Foulkes.
“We note, especially, that human rights are a high priority of your government
and we were pleased to support your candidacy for a seat on the United Nations
Human Rights Council.”
Ambassador Jones-Bos said that the similarities between both countries go beyond
history and geography.
She noted that economically, the Bahamas and the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba
are very similar. The strong points of the Bahamas economy are tourism and financial
services.
“In the face of the current economic recession these sectors might suffer
above-average and might undo development and economic growth that we have taken
for granted throughout the last years.”
“Against this background an enhanced cooperation between our two countries
is to our mutual benefit; in particular in these times of economic and financial
uncertainty,” Ambassador Jones-Bos said.
She also commended Attorney General Michael Barnett for the “open and
fruitful” discussions in Geneva on human rights in general, and the rights
of women and children in particular.
