Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten wants his coalition to continue with D66, VVD and CDA, rejecting the idea of a government without VVD ministers. He said a fresh round of talks should focus on improving cooperation between the three parties and working with the different majorities in parliament.

Jetten made the remarks during a parliamentary debate on Thursday, responding to questions about whether the cabinet could continue without the VVD. He had previously said a restart was needed, with the three parties remaining in the coalition.
