That is rather unexpected. I am not sure there ever were any Dutch state visits to that country. One wonders why this was chosen.

None at all. Unexpected,and surprised.Even tho a EU member,Cyprus hosts thousands of Russian nationals,completely ignoring the EU sanctions as the Oligarches have more to offer.....

Previously, minister Veldkamp (foreign affairs) was supposed to join the king and queen on this state visit. He has been replaced by minister Bruins (education, culture and science). I assume this has to do with the current situation worldwide/regarding Ukraine.
 
The update was made today. I wonder whether minister Bruins was already scheduled to attend as there are a few activities related to his areas of interest and has now been promoted to primary accompanying minister.
 
The state visit has started this morning, March 4:

The Queen also wears a miniature Order but it is so small that it can only be seen on closer pics.
