The programme includes two field visits on Tuesday. On the first day of her visit, Queen Maxima visited an island, where she spoke with members of a fishing community about the positive effects of the digital financial services offered by CARD RBI on their income and financial health. In a city on the mainland, the Queen Maxima also visited a small neighbourhood shop, known as a 'sari-sari store'.

      Agree! I very much admire her for her inclusive finance work. When you hear her interviewed on the subject over the years it’s evident how passionate she is and how she’s not just an ambassador with a few facts given to her by an aide, but is deeply in the subject. - Grace

    Lovely dress for a working visit to a hot country. I hope her dress is made of cotton. Love her slippers but one has to be able to walk with on sometimes uneven ground, almost as dangerous as walking too long on high heels. But I think she knows what she is doing, it is not the first time that she visits tropical countries for her work at the UN.

      Yes, lovely dress! I checked the website and it’s 100% cotton, so great for the hot weather. Judy.

  3. Bel imprimé mais un petit décolleté en V aurait apporté plus de légèreté ; j’aime l’originalité de ces sandales mais je ne pourrais pas les porter car trop plates ; un petit talon 2.5/3 cm me conviendrait mieux !

      She is the queen of The Netherlands and has been for several years. Not an unknown person at all. Suggest you be more polite.
