The Dutch King and Queen had enjoyed their visit to the Caribbean part of the Kingdom. It was good to see the region getting more stable and that reflected in so much love and happy faces. The first royal state visit to Suriname in 50 years went especially well. The new PM Clarence Seedorf and the royal couple we're very informal and friendly among each-other.
Now it was time for another historic occasion. The first Royal state visit to Cuba. Queen Maxima was looking especially forward to speaking Spanish (she's Argentinian by birth) and dipping into the Rumba vibe of Havana, King Willem Alexander was especially looking forward to drinking Rum and smoking big fat juicy cigars!
The Royal couple and a group of dutch delegates (Dutch companies, Cultural and education institutions etc.) has boarded their plane on Paramaribo international airport and will arrive shortly.

Dutch King Willem Alexander was very much in his element. A glass of rum in one hand and a big fat cigar in another he was grinning ear to ear. The tunes where swinging and the view was especially nice. President Cortez seemed to be a fine drinking companion and kept up with the tempo for now. The group went from bar to bar and deeper into the Havana Nightlife. Many journalists reporting on the event are starting to get distracted and joining the drinking, causing a heavy traffic congestion in Downtown Havana. This on its turn draws even more crowds towards the area. Reports are starting to become blurry and far apart. Downtown Havana seems to slowly turn into a massive block-party, Cubana Style!
Before heading into Havana to join the King and President for a night of dancing, Queen Maxima has a few more points.
We are glad to have resolved the trade agreement.
The student scholarships are meant to increase Cuban knowledge as these students would return to Cuba after one year. They would start to integrate protocols and knowledge in Cuban institutions. (slight increase of tech) We ask you to reconsider this gesture as we would like to help your countries development.
A team of Dutch agricultural experts will be sent to Havana shortly. They will begin to assist and assess current structures and will present their report in a few months.
We would be happy to discuss joint oil exploration possibilities and we can assure Royal Dutch Shell has safety and efficiency as its main priorities and is a specialist in the energy field.
