On 28&29 October 2019, senior policy makers and thinkers from Italy and the Netherlands gathered at the Clingendael Institute for the first ‘Van Wittel/Vanvitelli’ dialogue. The main theme of this strategic Italian-Dutch roundtable was How can Italy and the Netherlands move Europe forward?  The two-day dialogue was opened by Vincenzo Amendola, Italy’s Minister of European Affairs and Stef Blok, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands. It featured discussions on the strategic priorities of the European Union, the challenge of irregular migration and how to respond to climate change.

This event was organized in close cooperation with Istituto Affari Internazionali, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Italy. We look forward to the next edition of the dialogue in Rome in 2020.
