The Taiwan Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed its gratitude for the first inclusion of pro-Taiwan language in the governing agreement of the Belgian federal government. This marks the first time that the Belgian government has included pro-Taiwan language in a cross-party governing agreement, showing hope for the continuous promotion of friendly relations with the Belgian government.
The coalition government of five political parties in Belgium took office on January 31 and revealed their joint governing agreement on February 11. The agreement emphasized for the first time the importance of maintaining peace, stability, and the status quo in the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea, aiming to push for investment agreements between Europe and countries in that region.
The Taiwan Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a press release stating that it has taken note of the inclusion of pro-Taiwan language for the first time in the governing agreement of the Belgian federal government. It expressed sincere appreciation for this milestone, congratulating Prime Minister Bart De Wever and his cabinet team who took office on February 3.
The Taiwan Ministry of Foreign Affairs looks forward to enhancing substantive exchanges in various fields and promoting regional peace, stability, and prosperity with the Belgian government in the future, based on shared values. The goal is to deepen the friendship between the two countries and their peoples.
