Le 14 novembre 2025, le ministre belge des Affaires \u00e9trang\u00e8res et de la Coop\u00e9ration au d\u00e9veloppement Maxime Pr\u00e9vo a annonc\u00e9 qu\u2019 \u00ab\u00a0Au terme d\u2019un exercice d'\u00a0\u00bboptimisation\u00a0\u00bb tr\u00e8s attendu, il a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de fermer 8 des postes diplomatiques de la Belgique \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9tranger, tout en en ouvrant 5 nouveaux et en en \u00ab\u00a0renfor\u00e7ant\u00a0\u00bb une vingtaine parmi les postes existants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Parall\u00e8lement, une r\u00e9serve de diplomates \u00ab\u00a0volants\u00a0\u00bb sera cr\u00e9\u00e9e, qui serviront de renfort temporaire l\u00e0 o\u00f9 c\u2019est n\u00e9cessaire, en cas de maladie ou cong\u00e9 de longue dur\u00e9e, ou en cas de crise. \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tous ces changements seront impl\u00e9ment\u00e9s au cours des ann\u00e9es 2026 et 2027, a pr\u00e9cis\u00e9 le cabinet du ministre. Ce dernier assure qu\u2019il ne s\u2019agissait pas en priorit\u00e9 de r\u00e9aliser des \u00e9conomies : \u00ab\u00a0C\u2019est bien la seule volont\u00e9 d\u2019un red\u00e9ploiement strat\u00e9gique qui motive cette initiative\u00a0\u00bb. Les fermetures de postes permettront bien de d\u00e9gager du budget, mais qui \u00ab\u00a0sera r\u00e9investi\u00a0\u00bb et permettra de lib\u00e9rer des moyens pour les \u00e9quipes restantes. L\u2019ambassade \u00e0 La Havane (Cuba) sera ferm\u00e9e. Ce sera aussi le cas du consulat g\u00e9n\u00e9ral de Rio de Janeiro (Br\u00e9sil), du poste de Sarajevo (Bosnie-Herz\u00e9govine), de celui de Conakry (Guin\u00e9e), de l\u2019ambassade \u00e0 Bamako (Mali), du bureau diplomatique \u00e0 Maputo (Mozambique), de l\u2019ambassade \u00e0 Kowe\u00eft City et du consulat g\u00e9n\u00e9ral \u00e0 Guangzhou (Chine). \u00ab\u00a0Il ne s\u2019agit en aucun cas de la fin de nos relations diplomatiques avec ces pays. [\u2026] Nous ne serons pas absents de ces pays ; nous y serons pr\u00e9sents autrement\u00a0\u00bb et \u00ab\u00a0veillerons \u00e0 ce que la qualit\u00e9 des services offerts aux Belges ne soit pas affect\u00e9e\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Au rayon des ouvertures, la Belgique aura une nouvelle ambassade \u00e0 Tirana (Albanie), \u00e0 Windhoek (Namibie), \u00e0 Mascate (Oman), \u00e0 Tachkent (Ouzb\u00e9kistan). Le pays nommera \u00e9galement un Repr\u00e9sentant permanent aupr\u00e8s de l\u2019Union Africaine en qualit\u00e9 d\u2019observateur, \u00e0 Addis-Abeba, et un ambassadeur pour la Syrie, avec r\u00e9sidence \u00e0 Beyrouth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
