VOICE-OVER: Today, the whole world seems just one click away.
One click that removes borders and connects us.
Making the globe smaller and our world bigger.
But that can make us feel vulnerable, as we face the unknown.
Events happening far away now feel closer to home.
VOICE-OVER: We know that what we have learned here
can be of great value elsewhere.
VOICE-OVER: That there are places in the world where human rights are at stake.
VOICE-OVER: We know that there are people fighting for freedom,
and that we need to protect them.
We want to cross borders, to share what we're good at with the rest of the world.
PAUL POLMAN: The Dutch are at the forefront
for setting the world on a new pathway for a sustainable future.
One example of this has been the joining of the ministries of aid and trade,
which I believe has been a smart decision,
as we need both to reach the world's poorest 2.5 billion people.
VOICE-OVER: If we work together, we can achieve more,
without the result being at the expense of others.
VOICE-OVER: If you go abroad, you want to know where it's safe and where it isn't.
VOICE-OVER: And if you do get into difficulties,
you need to know there's someone who can bring you back to safety.
VOICE-OVER: Right now, as the world becomes both smaller and bigger,
it's important that we are there for the Netherlands, worldwide.
