    Classified By: AMBASSADOR ROLAND ARNALL, REASONS 1.4(B,D)

    Assistant Secretary Fried:

    ¶1. (SBU) My staff and I are happy to welcome you back to The
    Netherlands March 22-23. You will be the most senior
    Department of State visitor here since the formation of the
    new, center-left coalition government (Balkenende IV). While
    the coalition has survived its first major political test by
    winning a majority in this month's Provincial elections (ref
    a), it is clearly still finding its feet. So far, its agenda
    has been dominated by domestic politics -- including a
    troubling debate on the status of dual nationals -- but the
    new government will shortly have to make tough decisions on
    whether to extend the Dutch deployment in Afghanistan, how to
    move forward on European integration, whether to continue to
    participate in the Joint Strike Fighter program, and other
    critical foreign policy and defense challenges. The next few
    months, therefore, will be crucial in setting the tone of our
    bilateral relationship for the next several years, as well as
    in determining whether this government can find a comfortable
    balance between its transatlantic and European identities.

    ¶2. (C) Your visit provides an excellent opportunity to get
    the relationship off on the right foot, and to help tee up
    the April visits to the U.S. of Foreign Minister Maxime
    Verhagen (CDA) and State Secretary (equivalent to junior
    minister) for Development Bert Koenders (PvdA). As noted
    ref b, FM Verhagen's instincts favor strengthening the
    bilateral relationship, even at the expense of Europe, if
    necessary. He is already facing strong pressure from within
    the coalition -- and even some factions of his own party --
    to show his independence by pressing the U.S. on issues like
    renditions and Guantanamo, however. Koenders, on the other
    hand, comes to the relationship with a history of challenging
    the former government's pro-American tilt despite his long
    association with NATO (i.e., Koenders was elected chairman of
    the NATO Parliamentary Assembly just prior to joining the
    government) and a reputation for being among the most
    transatlantic members of his Labor Party. Both ministers
    will play key roles in guiding the Cabinet's decision making
    on Afghanistan in coming months -- which is why both of them,
    along with Defense Minister van Middelkoop, are currently
    visiting Uruzgan to review the situation on the ground first
    hand.

    ¶3. (SBU) Unfortunately, Verhagen and Koenders will be tied up
    on Thursday and Friday with formal commemorations of the
    anniversary of the Rome Treaty (presided over by Queen
    Beatrix) and the weekly cabinet meeting with the Prime
    Minister, so it will not be possible to meet with them
    personally on this visit. On Thursday, however, you will be
    able to discuss the agenda for the upcoming visit and other
    substantive issues with Deputy Political Director (and former
    Dutch DCM in Washington) Wim Geerts. Later that evening, you
    will be the guest of honor at a dinner attended by senior MFA
    officials (including Political Director Pieter de Gooijer),
    parliamentarians, and other notables (including former Prime
    Minister Ruud Lubbers and former Foreign Minister Ben Bot.)
    We expect the informal dinner format, in particular, will
    lend itself to a lively debate on the future of
    U.S.-Dutch-European relations with a well-informed, highly
    influential audience of prominent public figures.

    ¶4. (SBU) We are also very pleased that you have agreed to
    address the inaugural event of the Netherlands-Atlantic
    Youth Association on Thursday afternoon at Leiden
    University. This group was founded recently, with Embassy
    encouragement, to introduce the next generation of Dutch
    leaders to the benefits of the transatlantic relationship.
    Your participation in this event will help get this ambitious
    project off to a strong start, while reinforcing this
    mission's efforts to reach out to Dutch youth. We are
    working to ensure that this event receives press coverage,
    and that you will have an opportunity to address the press
    directly on the same themes on the margins of the actual
    event.

    ¶5. (C) Finally, on Friday morning you will have the chance
    to discuss issues of concern to the Dutch Muslim community
    over breakfast, following up on the successful visit last
    week by Nerissa Cook's delegation on Integration and
    Radicalization. During that visit, government officials and
    representatives of the Dutch Muslim community expressed
    concern that USG initiatives to engage European Muslims could
    be perceived as linking the bulk of the European Muslim
    population to violent extremist movements. While recognizing
    the United States' legitimate interest in countering
    extremism and potential terrorist threats, they cautioned
    against appearing to associate the integration of European
    Muslims primarily with efforts to counter radicalization. In
    this context, some cited your recent Washington Times
    interview as evidence that the U.S. sees European Muslims as
    a collective problem rather than as individuals worthy of
    dialogue; your visit will provide the perfect opportunity to
    set the record straight.

    ARNALL
