The meeting's goal, according to Robert Dool, the Chief Negotiator on the Investment Promotion of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, was to make it easier for the two nations to have business partnerships.

He underlined his nation's gratitude for its work with the Nigerian government, which he saw as a cornerstone of integration, economic cooperation, and socioeconomic progress.

Dool said the 1992 bilateral agreement was being reevaluated and updated to suit the contemporary global environment and advance international socio-economic development.

“This explains why the Netherlands has taken the initiative to look at their investment promotion in Nigeria to see how they can make this agreement more reflective in the world we live in today,” the chief negotiator said.

“This has induced a critical review of the bilateral agreement and in a modernized way, acts in promotion and protection of international and social economic development,” he added.
