Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has been honoured with the inaugural Belle van Zuylen ring, an award by the ILFU International Literature Festival in Utrecht, the Netherlands. The recognition, named after the Dutch writer Belle Van Zuylen, is for her engagement with the world and its thought patterns.

At the event, she delivered the Belle van Zuylen Lecture and was in conversation with the Dutch author and public speaker Nancy Jouwe.
