​Belgium, home to the capital of the European Union — Brussels, plays a key role in shaping pan-European policy and the economic agenda. Brussels is not only the political center of Europe but also a hub where the interests of leading international organizations, diplomatic missions, and financial institutions converge. It is here that decisions are made which define the main directions of the EU’s development and its relations with external partners.

At the invitation of the President of the European Council António Costa and the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev will pay an official visit to Brussels on October 23-24.
