The Chairpersons received a tour of the Caribbean Netherlands Judicial Institution. Finally, they visited the American company Cargill, which produces salt for industrial use.

Reflecting on the working visit, Jan Anthonie Bruijn said: ‘Each of the islands visited is unique, but what they have in common is that we met people everywhere who are working diligently for the future of their island and its residents. I am not just talking about administrators or politicians, but also, for example, prison staff, nature conservationists, and entrepreneurs.’ The working visit was organized due to the importance that the States General attaches to good relationships, he emphasized. ‘The Kingdom is about people and their mutual relationships. When those are good at the core, you can bridge differences most easily.’
