🚨 This is a first: the King’s children are taking part in a State Banquet at the Castle of Laeken for the very first time. Only Gabriël has ever attended a State Banquet before (2024) - in France, hosted by the Macrons - while he was on exchange at a military school in Brittany.

Good breakfast meeting with the Ambassadors from Central Asia and Mongolia posted in Brussels.

Central Asia is a region of growing strategic importance for Belgium and for Europe. That is why we are opening an embassy in Tashkent this year to deepen our bilateral relations and follow developments in this crucial region more closely.

We reaffirmed our shared commitment to multilateralism, the UN Charter and international law in a challenging geopolitical context.

Discussions focused on strengthening the EU–Central Asia Strategic Partnership, connectivity through the Trans-Caspian Transport Corridor, energy, climate and critical raw materials.

Together with the 🇪🇺, we are advancing concrete cooperation towards a more secure, sustainable and better connected future.

Несмотря на очевидную позитивную динамику, между Казахстаном и Бельгией сохраняется огромный нереализованный потенциал сотрудничества.

Мы нацелены на серьезное расширение взаимодействия в высокотехнологичных и стратегических сферах… https://t.co/LZYZOxNoqI
