During this visit, President Kovind visited Keukenhof which happens to be one of the world\u2019s largest flower garden and is also referred to as the Garden of Europe. At Keukenhof, an important flower naming ceremony took place which has become a substantial landmark in India-Netherlands\u2019 friendship. A yellow colour newly bred double tulip has been named \u2018Maitri\u2019 by President Kovind and the First Lady to commemorate the 75th anniversary of India-Netherlands diplomatic relations.<\/p>\n

The President\u2019s Twitter account conveyed about this event by tweeting, \u201cPresident Ram Nath Kovind and the First Lady Smt Savita Kovind visited Keukenhof in Amsterdam. The President named a new breed of yellow tulips \u2018Maitri\u2019~ symbolic of the special & enduring friendship between India and the Netherlands.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The \u2018Maitri\u2019 tulip has been bred by a 100-year-old Dutch horticulture company called Bloembollenbedrijf Jan de Wit en Zonen BV who have, in the past also provided flower bulbs found in the Mughal gardens of the Rashtrapati Bhavan.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Naming this Tulip \u2018Maitri\u2019 is also significant for the relationship between the countries as it highlights the growing friendship between India and Netherlands. In line with this, President Kovind at the ceremony said, \u201cToday, a new flower will bloom for India-Netherlands relations. We are naming the tulip flower as \u2018Maitri\u2019 which in Sanskrit means friendship\u2026. It will inspire us to work towards strengthening bonds of friendship and ties between people of India and the Netherlands.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
