King Philippe and Queen Mathilde held their traditional New Year Reception for the Heads of the Diplomatic Missions accredited to the Court in Brussels, and their partners, at the Royal Château de Laeken.
The heads of missions were invited to this reception at the Château de Laeken, the home of the sovereigns, with their husbands and wives.
It is also at the Château de Laeken that the King and Queen of the Belgians will organize on 14 January the reception in honour of the Secretary General of NATO and the permanent representatives to NATO.
The last major event linked to the New Year always takes place on 31 January and is organized at the royal palace for the country’s authorities.
