A prime meeting place for members of the Diplomatic and Consular Corps, for international official representatives (European Union, NATO and international organisations) who are or have been based in Brussels, as well as for executives of multinational companies, the Diplomatic Club promotes a greater understanding of the Kingdom of Belgium, the host country, within the framework of a long tradition of warmth reception and openness to the world.
The purpose is primarily to familiarise members and their relatives with the political institutions of Belgium in addition to its cultural and artistic heritage.
The Diplomatic Club of Belgium is of no religious, racial or political nature.
President’s message
Excellencies,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Dear Members,
I am pleased to welcome you to the new Diplomatic Club of Belgium’s website whose objective is to encourage a better knowledge of Belgium, its Regions and Communities and to further promote the dialogue between diplomats and representatives of the Belgian, European and international civil society.
Our new website, which is part of our renovation strategy in ten points, strives to be an interactive platform with an efficient and dynamic communication where members and internauts will rapidly access all relevant information. It enables you to discover our missions, our activities, our renewed board of directors as well as our honorary board members, keeping you posted on our events and news of the Club.
I wish you an excellent visit of our website.
Looking forward to welcoming you soon to the Diplomatic Club, I send you our very best personal and warm regards in the name of our committee.
Pascal Grégoire
