First King’s Day in history celebrated by Dutch community in Romania

The Netherlands Romanian Chamber of Commerce (NRCC), in close collaboration with the Embassy of The Netherlands, celebrated last Friday, April 25, the Orange Night – an event dedicated to the birthday of King Willem-Alexander of The Netherlands, the first King’s Day in history, as previously the Dutch throne had been occupied exclusively by queens.

Also, through this event that took place at Biavati Events Venue in Bucharest, the organizers sought to consolidate relationships in the Dutch-Romanian community. The birthday party, opened by the Dutch Ambassador Matthijs van Bonzel , was preceded by an exquisite, yet traditional dinner prepared by Chef Paul Oppenkamp from The Artist restaurant.

The NRCC is a not-for-profit organization which supports Dutch-Romanian business and encourages trade between the two countries by establishing business relations between the community members through a close contact with the Embassy of The Netherlands in Romania, as well as with the Romanian Government, if necessary.
