"After living in Zwolle for 36 years, my wife and I are welcomed as visitors to the Province of Overijssel for the first time, along with other guests. We've had constructive conversations, focusing on finding the factor that unites us and enables us to live together and care for one another. I enthusiastically look forward to future collaborations and further dialogue for the benefit of our community."
