Belgium’s heads of mission held a meeting on Tuesday during the ongoing Belgian Diplomatic Days annual event with Defense Minister Ludivine Dedonder and State Secretary for Asylum and Migration Nicole de Moor to address crucial matters of mutual interest. The meeting underscored the importance of continued cooperation between the involved agencies.
Discussions focused on the Belgian military’s vital role in international peacekeeping and security operations, particularly in light of ongoing conflicts worldwide. Additionally, the participants addressed migration management and the need for effective policies to handle the challenges and opportunities associated with migration flows.
As Belgium gears up to assume the presidency of the Council of the European Union in 2024, migration is expected to be a top priority for the Belgian government. Effective collaboration between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Belgium Defence, and the State Secretariat for Asylum and Migration will be essential in tackling global challenges and advancing Belgium’s foreign policy objectives.
