Finance Minister Nina Angelovska signed Thursday a Memorandum of cooperation (2020-2022) with the Dutch Ministry of Finance.

Dutch Ambassador to North Macedonia Dirk Jan Kop handed Angelovska the memorandum, signed by Dutch Minister of Finance, Wopke Hoekstra.

The two ministries, the Finance Ministry said in a press release, are set to continue in the next two years to swap knowledge and experience with the aim of improving North Macedonia’s public finance system. Cooperation will also take place in the form of trainings, workshops, and residencies, organized to encourage human capital development.

Angelovska underlined the importance of Dutch support for public finance reforms in North Macedonia.

The ministries established bilateral cooperation in 2017.

The Netherlands has always supported the implementation of development reform in North Macedonia. Since 1991, the country has allocated over EUR 200 million for implementation of numerous projects.
