King Philippe, Current Events, Part 3 (January 2021 - present)

Filip of the Belgians and Dutch King Willem-Alexander pictured during the inauguration of the new Terneuzen lock, in Terneuzen, Netherlands, Friday 11 October 2024. This titanic structure is part of a larger lock complex linking the city of Ghent to Zeeland and the North Sea. Similar in size to the locks on the Panama Canal, the new Terneuzen lock will help to cope with the increase in river and sea transport in the North Sea Port region - the merged ports of Vlissingen, Terneuzen and Ghent - while making traffic flow more smoothly by reducing waiting times.

King Philippe gifted King Willem-Alexander a portrait of King Baudouin and Queen Juliana, a fitting tribute since the last two locks built in Terneuzen were inaugurated by them in 1968.

Nice to see the two of them at an event together. And that was a lovely gift of the Belgian king.

I never thought they were especially close, but the Dutch king calling the Belgian one a ´friend´ shows that they are friendly at the very least.
