Today, I had a constructive meeting with the CEO of Brussels Airlines, Dorothea von Boxberg, regarding the challenges facing the aviation industry.

At 10 Downing Street, I met Prime Minister Keir Starmer to deepen the bilateral relationship between Belgium and the United Kingdom. The UK is a close North Sea neighbour and one of our key economic partners.

The United Kingdom and Belgium are close neighbours, like-minded partners and Allies committed to working together to promote our common interests. Today, we deepen our bilateral cooperation and friendship, within the framework of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) and the Renewed Agenda for European Union – United Kingdom Cooperation (‘the Renewed Agenda’ agreed 19 May 2025).
