Amsterdam incident unfortunate: Dutch minister

New Delhi: More than two weeks after 12 Indians were detained at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport on suspicion of being terrorists, Dutch Minister for Foreign Trade Karien van Gennip has expressed regret over the "unfortunate" incident and hoped it will "not impact negatively" on relations between India and the Netherlands.
During her visit to India last week, the Dutch minister, aware of the damage that such an incident can cause on developing bilateral ties, made it a point to stress that there was no discrimination against Indians travelling to the Netherlands.
"People of India are very welcome to the Netherlands. We are your oldest business partner. So, we have a lot to gain from this partnership. Let us build on this partnership in technology and innovation," van Gennip, who visited India to promote the Netherlands as the preferred destination of investment said.
