On February 11, the Kingdom of Belgium’s five-party coalition government, which was formed on January 31, publicized a coalition agreement that for the first time stressed the importance of maintaining peace, stability, and the status quo across the Taiwan Strait and South China Sea, and called for the signing of investment agreements between Europe and countries in the region.
This is the first coalition agreement of a Belgian government to contain content on Taiwan. MOFA expresses sincere appreciation for this action and congratulates Prime Minister Bart De Wever and his cabinet on their inauguration on February 3. Building upon shared values, MOFA looks forward to working with the Belgian government to further promote cordial relations; enhance all forms of substantive bilateral exchanges; advance regional peace, stability, and prosperity; and foster robust friendship between the peoples of Taiwan and Belgium.
