‘Ask Koenders Anything’: Dutch Minister of Foreign Affairs to host ‘Ask Me Anything’ session on social news site Reddit

‘Ask me anything you want to know’ is Mr Koenders’ message as he becomes the first Dutch minister to answer questions in a Reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA) session.
The motivation for this session was the Netherlands EU Presidency. Koenders wants to improve transparency of EU decision-making, for example though the use of digital technology.

8 February

On Monday 8 February, Mr Koenders will be standing by to answer questions from the general public. The session will start at 15.45 (CET) and will last half an hour. Anyone can follow the AMA by going to this webpage.


To ask the minister a question, however, you’ll need a Reddit account. You can ask your question by adding a new thread to the first message posted by Mr Koenders.

Mr Koenders is following in the footsteps of various international politicians and entrepreneurs, such as Barack Obama and Bill Gates, who have also hosted AMAs of their own.
