Brief Notes on Early Diplomatic and Economic Relations between Romanians and Dutch, 1780-1880

Summary/Abstract: The National Archives in The Hague offer us the opportunity to research diplomatic and economic documents with the Romanian space since the 18th century. The attempt of the Dutch ambassador in Constantinople, Baron van Dedem, to do business with the rulers of Moldavia and Wallachia led the Dutch to establish the first consulates in Bucharest and Galați in the 19th century. Although the early years were characterised by interruptions and complications due to the European context, Dutch diplomats succeeded, after 1855, in developing diplomatic and economic relations by opening consulates in Brăila, Sulina and Botosani. The change of state in Romania in 1877-1878 allowed the Netherlands to negotiate directly with the cabinet in Bucharest, relations between the two countries became stable and profitable.
