AMSTERDAM, Ramadan 08, 1437, June 13, 2016, SPA -- Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said on Monday he hoped British voters would decide in a June 23 referendum to stay in the EU, saying the bloc needed such a strategically important country with its strong trading and "seafaring" traditions. "Britain is a free market economy facing outward, just like the Netherlands. We are both seafaring nations, used to trading and working with open borders. It's of importance that a country with that kind of makeup remain," said Rutte, whose country holds the European Union's rotating presidency, according to Reuters. We see a lot of instability in the world. If one of the largest economies in the world from Europe leaves, that would lead to a lot of popping corks in many capital cities outside Europe. I don't want that, said Rutte, speaking on the sidelines of an event in The Hague. --SPA 16:19 LOCAL TIME 13:19 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
