THE HAGUE — Dutch King Willem-Alexander and Prime Minister Mark Rutte attended a memorial on Saturday in The Hague to commemorate the surrender of Japan 70 years ago. The remembrance ceremony is organized each year on August 15 at the Indisch Monument (the Indies Monument) in The Hague to commemorate the Dutch citizens and soldiers killed during the Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies, now Indonesia, in World War II. For the first time King Willem-Alexander was present as the head of state at the memorial. It is customary for the head of state to visit the memorial once every five years, because the anniversary of the Japanese surrender is not an official national memorial in the Netherlands. The King laid the first wreath, followed by, among others, Premier Rutte. The Dutch survivors of the Japanese occupation later claimed to have received insufficient recognition for the suffering they had experienced. (Xinhua)…[+]
