De daaruit voortvloeiende samenwerking binnen het Koninkrijk stond voorop, hetgeen de Koning achteraf benadrukte. Ook de Staatssecretaris van Koninkrijksrelaties en Digitalisering mw. Van Huffelen heeft met belangstelling kennis genomen van het concordantiebeginsel en dat dit onderwerp de aandacht heeft van zowel de Koning als de Staatssecretaris.
