Happy Belgium National Day! 🇧🇪

On July 21, 1831, King Leopold I took the oath as the first King of the Belgians, marking the foundation of the Belgian monarchy. This significant event solidified Belgium’s independence and set the stage for its future as a prosperous and culturally rich nation. We extend our warmest wishes to our Belgian members, friends, and connections.
