President Mejia continues European tour

President Mejia is in Amsterdam today, where he will be received by Queen Beatrix, who spent last Christmas in the Dominican Republic. El Caribe reports that this visit is the last stop of his tour that began 12 September and on which Mejia was received in Spain, Israel and Jordan. His 24-hour stay in Holland will include a boat tour of Rotterdam and a visit to the ceramics museum in Amsterdam, as well as a floral offering at the hometown of the late Prince Klaus, who once lived in the Dominican Republic and is remembered for his support of the anti-Trujillo movement. Mejia will also meet the Dominican community in Holland.
