Our thoughts are with the victims of the fire at the Oxy Tower and their loved ones.

🇧🇪🇬🇧 Great to catch up with my colleague the UK Foreign Secretary @YvetteCooperMP. As close neighbours and longstanding allies, Belgium and the United Kingdom continue to work hand in hand to respond to the urgent needs of Ukraine, to ensure a longlasting peace in Gaza and tackle the challenge of irregular migration.

This meeting gave me also the occasion to ask for the facilitation of school visits across the Channel. Despite Brexit, supporting strong ties between our countries through people-to-people contacts is more important than ever.

🇬🇧🇧🇪Yesterday, on Armistice Day, our Ambassador and Defence Attaché joined Belgian officials and other distinguished guests to honour the fallen at the Menin Gate and Tyne Cot Cemetery.
The UK’s commitment to remembrance and peace remains strong.

🙏🇬🇧 Grateful to our British friends for their swift support and solidarity.
The deployment of a UK anti-drone team in Belgium strengthens our collective security and showcases our unity in countering hybrid threats.

Thank you, @DefenceHQ @JohnHealey_MP .

On land, at sea and throughout the country, the nation stood together today in an act of silent, solemn remembrance for the men and women who laid down their lives so that we may live in freedom.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

🇬🇧 I was pleased to meet @YvetteCooperMP in Brussels to reaffirm the strong ties between Belgium and the United Kingdom.

At a time of major geopolitical shifts - from Russia’s aggression against Ukraine to the situation in Middle East - close cooperation across the Channel is more essential than ever.

Belgium and the United Kingdom stand side by side in defending international law, supporting Ukraine and ensuring the security of our citizens.

Today I hosted a meeting with @AndriyYermak @rustem_umerov @JDVance and European National Security Advisers at Chevening House to discuss the next steps for peace in Ukraine.

The UK’s support for Ukraine remains ironclad as we continue working towards a just and lasting peace.

Back in the office after my first Belgian holiday to De Haan and Brugge. Feeling very grateful that I get to live, work and relax in such a beautiful and interesting country

Excellent 🇬🇧🇧🇪 cooperation led to his capture.

Extradition proceedings are now under way.

Had a good conversation with the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Sir @Keir_Starmer. I talked with our trusted neighbour on how to work together to enhance Euro-Atlantic security and promote bilateral relations. United by our strong economic ties, shared history and common values we can shape a more prosperous and peaceful future for our people! 🇪🇺🇬🇧

Like your whisky peppery, flowery or even cheesy?! There’s something for everyone! Cheers to @ScotGovBrussels and @UKMisBrussels for celebrating Women in Whisky.

Yesterday evening, we co-hosted an event w/@UKMisBrussels, celebrating inspiring women in the whisky industry🥃

On Thursday I was in Liège for the first time at the National Resistance Monument. 80 years on from Victory in Europe we came together to honour the immense contributions of men and women, past and present, to European peace and security #Victory80

[Elizabeth McKinnell @eamckinnell]

Tackling the climate crisis is essential for our security, growth & future. With @gggi_hq & their President & Chair H.E. Ban Ki-moon we discussed sustainability, green financing & international cooperation.

We stand with journalists who risk their lives to report the truth under often very challenging circumstances, and whose work is essential to provide true information. #WorldPressFreedomDay
