Description

Important priority of Defence Minister Jeanine Hennis in 2014 is to increase support for defence in society.

The Coalition for Defence Foundation (CFD) (i.o.) is an independent platform that aims to regain this support among the Dutch people through social media, lectures and debates - in order to put defence back on the agenda in government and parliament. So that we once again have an armed force we can be proud of. Which can perform its tasks professionally and properly.

Coalition for Defence stands up for the interests of the Netherlands and therefore for a powerful Dutch armed forces. Because a reliable, well-equipped and modern defence apparatus is not a luxury but a pure necessity. As a result, we have had peace in Europe and in our country for over 70 years.

This evening, the Coalition for Defence will be presented and there will be an opportunity for discussion about objectives, tasks and activities.

The evening is co-sponsored by TNO.
