Who advises the prince?
Description
Who advises the prince? The secretary of the Water Advisory Committee, ir. J.P. (Koos) Wieriks, certainly does. He explains how that works. You can debate with him about the role that the Netherlands - and the crown prince in particular - plays (inter)nationally.
For instance, we are exclusively marking 60 years of ICID. The International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage was founded 24 June 1950 in New Delhi. Partly at the initiative of the Netherlands. Reason: good water management is necessary to continue feeding the world's population. KIVI NIRIA Waterbeheer / NETHCID forms the Dutch ICID committee.
