She will also visit the Port of Rotterdam, the projects of its river dredging, land reclamation, land preservation, farms, and agro-processing plants. The Dutch experts will demonstrate their skills and expertise in these sectors.
During the visit, the two countries are expected to sign four memorandums of understanding on political consultations, foreign services, education and readymade garment sector.
