News on Queen Maxima's trip to Africa.


Queen M?xima begins financial trip to Africa ? Royal Central

QuoteQueen M?xima has landed in Ivory Coast?s capital Abidjan as part of a four-day visit that will also take her to Senegal as UN Special Advocate for Inclusive Finance for Development.

Her Majesty landed aboard an Air France flight at around 9 pm local time on Sunday, 12 June. Upon arrival, she was welcomed by Ivory Coast?s Prime Minister Patrick Achi, and the two of them were heard speaking French.

The Prime Minister then expressed his happiness at the Queen?s arrival, a sign of the importance such a visit has, not only for the profile of the guest but especially because of the topics it will cover.

The Royal House of the Netherlands has stated: ?The main themes of both visits are financial health and the further development of affordable and secure digital financial services?, a topic that is very familiar for the Dutch Queen since she has a degree in Economics from the Argentinian Catholic University, and a Master?s Degree in the US on the same topics.

QuoteHis Majesty King Willem-Alexander will not participate in the working visit to California and Texas from 6 to 9 September 2022. This decision has been made on doctors? advice. The King is recovering from pneumonia and air travel at this time could impede a full recovery. The King?s commitments in the Netherlands will not be affected by this decision and will go ahead as planned, albeit on a more limited scale.

Queen M?xima and the members of the government taking part in the visit will step in for him in his absence. An updated programme will be announced in due course.
