Dutch Trade Mission is aimed to strengthen the billateral relations between the two countries through mutual partnerships. This year's mission was quite different because King Willem Alexander and Queen Maxima joined the mission, accompanied by delegations from various background. The mission brought at least four thematic corridors of partnerships, among others agriculture and food, life sciences and health, maritime and integrated coastal and water management, as well as waste management: circular economy and water technology. This mission is filled with seminars, MoU signing, dinner reception and networking events.

IDN Liveable Cities, as one of organization who is active in billateral relation between Indonesia and the Netherlands, joined the mission as well. The organization was represented by Mrs. Wiwi Tjiook, and was joined the second cluster: Maritime and Integrated Coastal and Water Management.

In the field of maritime and integrated coastal and water management, the two countries had agreed to sign an MoU Water 2020-2025, which focused on two main agenda. Firstly, the development of integral masterplan for Welang River, East Java, with the focus on future flood prevention. Secondly, an initiative called, "Healthy River", which is aimed to encourage students and young generation in the issues of Welang River and harness their creativity in developing solutions for clean rivers.In short, the Dutch Trade Mission has brought a great partnership in various sectors between the two countries.
