Protocol

The Protocol Directorate plays a role of facilitator in the official relations between the foreign diplomatic representations established in Belgium on the one hand and the Belgian State on the other, ensuring the correct application of the Vienna Conventions on diplomatic and consular relations, as well as the ’headquarters agreements’ between Belgium and the international organisations which are established or represented in our country.
