"There have been frequent consultations and close cooperation between our two countries in the political as well as economic fields. I am appreciative of the understanding and support which the Netherlands have given to Malaysia on matters of great importance to us, both internally as well as regionally and internationally. Your support for the aspirations of the developing countries to effect structural changes to the international economic order cannot go without special mention nor can we forget the active role which your country has played in the North-South dialogue. Your support for the siting of the International Natural Rubber Association Headquarters (INRA) in Kuala Lumpur is much appreciated."
