Episode 2668,   Mar 15, 10:07 AM

This year Juba Nile Bridge marks its 50th anniversary. 
 
The anniversary marks the Kingdom of the Netherlands's longstanding bilateral relationship with the people of South Sudan that started long before its independence as the bridge was in a great part financed and constructed by the Kingdom of the Netherlands. 
 
Until 2022, this bridge served as a vital line for the people of South Sudan as the only means of crossing over the Nile. Yet no longer the only crossing point it remains a symbol of unity and a historic landmark for South Sudan. 

To learn more, the Morning Breakfast Show hosted the Kingdom of the Netherlands’ Vice Minister for International Trade and Development, Pascalle Grotenhuis,  and the Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in South Sudan, Marjan Schippers.
