South Korea – Netherlands Diplomatic Relations
Korea and the Netherlands have maintained close ties since establishing diplomatic relations in 1961. The Netherlands fought alongside Korea in the Korean War, sending approximately 5,300 troops — a shared history that continues to anchor the partnership. The relationship has evolved far beyond its wartime roots: today the two countries are technology allies, with ASML's extreme ultraviolet lithography machines playing an indispensable role in Korea's semiconductor manufacturing. The 2023 commemoration of 60 years of formal diplomatic relations marked a deepening of political and economic engagement.
