Thank you to all Wassenaarders

Mayor Leendert de Lange: "In conversations with fellow villagers this week, I was struck by the togetherness. It remains special to see the 'processions' containing important world leaders driving along the familiar Rijksstraatweg. It was beautiful to see how residents, health care institutions, schools and entrepreneurs helped each other, sympathized and cared for each other. Your patience, flexibility and resilience contributed to the safe conduct of the NATO Summit 2025. Additional security and traffic measures were necessary for this large international meeting to run smoothly. A big compliment to the efforts of all police officers, military personnel, traffic controllers and the people of the municipality. With thanks to the fire department, the firefighting was simply extinguished and the ambulance staff provided their Health. On behalf of the municipality of Wassenaar, we would like to thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation during the NATO Summit 2025. These measures undoubtedly impacted your daily lives in Wassenaar. A few days of less freedom, for hopefully peace and stability in the future."
