POSTPONED Trade Visit to Saudi Arabia

For security reasons, the trade mission presided by Queen Mathilde from 21 to 25 November 2026, has been postponed.

Queen Mathilde was supposed to be presiding a trade visit to Saudi Arabia in the company of hundreds of participants.

To develop tourism, the financial sector and AI, Saudi Arabia is making heavy investments in infrastructure projects. Belgian companies such as Besix, DEME, and Jan De Nul are already active in Middle Eastern country, for example in the creation of artificial islands, and can benefit from the current construction boom. In addition, this trade visit will also attract Saudi investors to Belgium.
