Diplomatic Missions Of Belgium
The Kingdom of Belgium is unique in having three networks of representation — one for the Belgian federal state, another for Dutch-speaking community and Flemish Region, and a third one for the French-speaking Community and the Walloon region, often comprising international missions of the Brussels-Capital Region and, more rarely, the German-speaking Community of Belgium. However officers representing the governments of the communities and Brussels, Flanders and Wallonia are usually co-located together with the diplomatic representation of Belgium, as most countries do not consider regions to be states.
