Wüst at the Benelux summit: together strong for Europe and the Einstein telescope!

On Tuesday, November 26, 2024, Brussels will become the scene of an important meeting! Prime Minister Hendrik Wüst represents North Rhine-Westphalia at this year's Benelux summit, where he discussed side by side with the prime ministers Alexander de Croo from Belgium, Dick Schoof from the Netherlands and Luc Frieden from Luxembourg. The focus is on strengthening European competitiveness and the ambitious joint efforts for the Einstein telescope-a project of maximum relevance!

"North Rhine-Westphalia and the Benelux countries are not only neighbors, but close friends and partners," emphasizes Wüst. At a time when the political situation is tense worldwide, the countries face enormous challenges. Migration, internal security and location policy are just a few of the topics that require determined action. Wüst emphasizes: "Only through close cooperation can we exist in global competition and master the tasks of the future!"

important topics on the agenda

The Benelux summit, which takes place for the eleventh time this year and is under Belgian chair, is an important forum for cooperation. The Benelux Union and North Rhine-Westphalia work closely in areas such as the labor market, transport, police and justice. This cooperation is based on a political explanation from 2008, which sets North Rhine-Westphalia as a privileged partner of the Benelux countries. The conversations promise exciting developments and increased cooperation in the region!
