🇧🇪🌎 Belgium updates its diplomatic network to maximise its global impact.
Today, we decided to modernise and rebalance our network of diplomatic posts so it better reflects today’s geopolitical realities, and tomorrow’s.
🔹 What will change?
- Strengthening: around 20 embassies and consulates
- Opening: 5 new diplomatic posts
- Closing: 8 posts, while ensuring continuity of service through neighbouring missions or regional coverage
🔹 Why this reform?
Because the world has changed — fast.
We need a network that is strategic, resilient and forward-looking, able to: defend Belgium’s interests and security; support Belgians and companies abroad; engage effectively on diplomacy, development and defence; respond to geopolitical shifts and new economic corridors
🔹 New openings
•Tirana (Albania)
•Windhoek (Namibia)
•Muscat (Oman)
•Tashkent (Uzbekistan)
•Permanent Representative to the African Union (Addis Ababa)
🔹 Reinforcements
Across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America — including Kinshasa, Brazzaville, Beijing, New Delhi, Manila, Kuala Lumpur, Riyadh, Doha, and several posts in West Africa and the posts responsable for the Baltics.
🔹 Closures
Eight posts will gradually close in 2026–2027, without reducing the quality of services to Belgian citizens.
🔹 A future-oriented network
The budgetary gains will be reinvested to strengthen teams, build a pool of flying diplomats, and enhance Belgium’s capacity to act quickly in crises.
This reform ensures Belgium remains credible, influential and well-equipped to defend its interests in a turbulent world.

President @realDonaldTrump , now is the time for you to tell @netanyahu to end this terrible war in Gaza, and stop the incessant daily slaughter of civilians. Only you can do this, and as your friend, who knows you hate war, I urge you to.

The latest Senate draft bill will destroy millions of jobs in America and cause immense strategic harm to our country!
Utterly insane and destructive. It gives handouts to industries of the past while severely damaging industries of the future.
Jesse D. Jenkins@JesseJenkins
The new Senate draft raises taxes on all wind and solar projects that haven't begun construction today unless they are placed service by end of 2027 and navigate complex, likely unworkable requirements to prove they don't use a drop of Chinese materials. After that, this bill ADDS A NEW tax on wind and solar projects that can't prove the same.
