Ahead of our conference, we had the honour of visiting the Embassy of Belgium in Washington, D.C. and meeting with a Belgian diplomat. 🇧🇪
This exchange gave us a deeper understanding of the internal functioning of Belgium’s diplomatic and political system beyond theory, beyond textbooks. Hearing about the realities of coordination, negotiation, and representation from someone working at the heart of it all was both insightful and inspiring.
Moments like these remind us that diplomacy is not only about policies and statements, but about people, responsibility, and commitment.
We are sincerely grateful for her time, her attention, and the generosity with which she shared her experience with us. An invaluable opportunity ahead of our conference.
