Jetten hosts Belgian and Luxembourg leaders at Benelux summit in Maastricht

Prime Minister Jetten receives Belgian prime minister De Wever and Luxembourg prime minister Frieden for the Benelux Summit on Tuesday 10 November 2026. It is held in Maastricht because the Netherlands chairs the Benelux Committee of Ministers this year. Minister-president Wüst of the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia joins the meeting later.

The summit starts in the Sint Janskerk with a conversation between the three prime ministers. They will talk about strengthening cooperation in the Benelux and the EU, the Ministry of General Affairs said.

The prime ministers then join a discussion session with students of Maastricht University, organised with Studio Europa Maastricht.

Jetten then receives Wüst. The four leaders speak briefly with each other before visiting a Benelux innovation market. There they talk with professionals about concrete projects on security, economic cooperation and cross-border autonomous road transport.

The summit ends with a working dinner with businesses about opportunities and challenges in the European internal market.
