Approximately 30 Belgian top diplomats will assume new postings in 2025, according to Le Soir. Countries such as Italy, Canada, Denmark, Sweden, and Mexico are among those

set to welcome new ambassadors.

December traditionally marks the month when Belgium announces diplomatic reshuffles. However, these changes do not apply to all staff. Most diplomats typically rotate postings every three years, with some assignments extending to four years.

In 2025, major changes will see Belgian ambassadors posted to Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Kazakhstan, Mali, Denmark, the Netherlands, Ireland, Italy, Serbia, Mexico, and Sweden. In addition, new consuls general will be appointed to key locations such as Kinshasa, London, Jerusalem, Moscow, and Rome.

One notable change involves Pierre-Emmanuel De Bauw, the current ambassador to Italy, San Marino, and Malta, who will return to Belgium next year. Belgian diplomats are required to return to the Federal Public Service (FPS) Foreign Affairs in Brussels after two postings abroad before they can be assigned to a new international position.

Meanwhile, Frédéric Bernard, former chief of staff to Charles Michel during his presidency of the European Council, is set to become the ambassador to the United States. Initially, Jan Hoogmartens, a former ambassador to China, was considered for the role but left to join the cabinet of European Commissioner Hadja Lahbib.

As of now, 25 diplomatic and consular positions remain vacant and are yet to be announced, Le Soir reports. Photo by Michael Barera, Wikimedia commons.
