The President asked that the public be patient while steps are taken to change the current policy, underling that the Government is "committed" to including Dutch citizens in the VOA facility.
Following meetings between the two heads of state agreements were reached to increase economic and business links between the two countries. Commenting on the results of the meetings, Balkenende said, "I feel the VOA will facilitate relations between our two countries, primarily in the fields of investment, tourism, and business."
