Wouter Nachtergaele, Head of the Division; Jill Suetens, Chief of Protocol; and the exceptional language coach Jan Vandenborre played pivotal roles in the course’s success.
We also extended our sincere appreciation to the Flanders Chancellery and Foreign Office for their unwavering support in equipping us with valuable language skills essential for diplomatic endeavours.
