20 Dutch Companies Now In Manila Looking For Partnership With Filipino Firms
Marten van den Berg, director-general for foreign economic relations at the Dutch foreign ministry said on Friday that the Dutch businessmen are on a trade mission in Manila for three days together with 20 Dutch company representatives who are looking for partnership with Filipino firms in terms of infrastructure, water and agricultural projects.
“What I will tell the Dutch companies is please go to the Philippines, see the opportunities. In the end, it’s up to them to decide. We’re very happy to facilitate the trade, investment opportunities,” van den Berg told in an interview with ANC.
“There is a lot of noise, but we always look into the real policies,” he said, citing the government’s plans to sustain economic growth.
Follow-up meetings in Manila were being scheduled already in connection to the first talk between Dutch and Filipino companies.
“Dutch companies are looking for long-term relationships. For us, it’s not always important to have straight away contracts but starting good relations, looking for opportunities, discussing opportunities,” he said.
