Netherlands Names New Special Envoy For Business, Reconstruction Of Ukraine

The Netherlands has appointed high-ranking diplomat Roderick van Schreven as a new special envoy for business and reconstruction of Ukraine after the former envoy to Ukraine had to quit due to his "pro-Russian" remarks, the Dutch cabinet said on Tuesday.

"The government (of the Netherlands) has appointed high-ranking diplomat Roderick van Schreven as the new special envoy for business and reconstruction of Ukraine," it said in a statement.

Before assuming this post, van Schreven had been the Netherlands' special envoy for trilateral cooperation with Israel and Palestine since 2017.
