INVITATION!

Threats in and against the Netherlands more versatile and more diffuse.

Thursday, 26 January 2023, 8:00 – 10:00 CET

Dear Ladies,

Back in June 2022 we were part of an enlightening session on ‘Sliding doors in the geopolitical landscape (What does Russia invading the Ukraine tell us?) during which Pherdi de Koning, officer in the Dutch armed forces and advisor to the National Coordinator for Counterterrorism and Security (NCTV) shared his personal views on our increasingly multipolar and multi-conceptual world.

Two of our members (Petri Hofsté and Monique van Dijken Eeuwijk), in follow-up of aforementioned session, entered into an inspiring conversation with Hester Somsen, deputy National Coordinator for Counterterrorism and Security and director of Cyber Security and State Threats and reflected on the current uncertain world we seem to find ourselves in. A world in which singular ideas about how best to look after global affairs seem to be replaced by a diffusion of power and political values.

We are honoured to announce that Hester Somsen, thereupon, has agreed to be our guest speaker on 26 January 2023 and will be reflecting on the recently published Terrorist Threat Assessment by the NCTV.

We are truly looking forward to seeing you in person again. To get informed, inspired and activated. As we take a stand, we join so many others in hoping for a more peaceful and sustainable future for everyone.

On behalf of WCD Netherlands,
Mylena Pierremont, Monique van Dijken Eeuwijk and Petra Groenland
