The Government has many duties. These include the day-to-day business of the ministries, preparing legislation and carrying it out, overseeing local government, and maintaining international relations. These duties are carried out by the ministers and state secretaries, with the help of civil servants at the ministries.
For more information about the ministries, go to the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (www.minbuza.nl/english) or get in touch with the Dutch consulate or embassy serving your country.
