you know that today is International Day of the Potato? There’s so much more to the humble spud than most people realise… For starters, Belgium 🇧🇪 is the world leader - producing over 5 million tonnes of processed potatoes per year! 🍟Potatoes are highly adaptable, thriving in various climates and altitudes. This adaptability makes them a resilient crop, essential for ensuring food security in the face of climate change and unpredictable weather patterns. The potato’s high yield makes it an ideal crop for feeding a growing global population. And the end product is also really versatile - fries, roast, baked, mash, crisps - the possibilities are almost endless. 👨‍🍳

Today is International Day Against Homophobia, Bifobia and Transphobia. Belgium strongly condemns the resurgence of acts of discrimination and violence against LGBTQI+ people, including in Europe. Too often, LGBTQI+ people are still the target of violence, harassment, stigmatisation and disinformation campaigns that fuel hate. Our diplomatic and consular missions will remain safe spaces for LGBTQI+ people and our diplomats actively participate in many awareness-raising and advocacy events, such as Pride and Diplomats for Equality.
FR 👇
Aujourd’hui, c’est la Journée internationale de lutte contre l’homophobie, la biphobie et la transphobie. La Belgique déplore et condamne fermement la recrudescence des actes de discrimination et de violence visant les personnes LGBTQI+, y compris en Europe. Trop souvent encore, les personnes LGBTQI+ sont la cible de violences, de harcèlement, de stigmatisation et de campagnes de désinformation qui alimentent la haine. Nos ambassades et consulats resteront des espaces sûrs pour les personnes LGBTQI+ et nos diplomates relaieront les initiatives locales et nationales, notamment en participant aux événements de sensibilisation et de défense des droits, comme les Marches des Fiertés et Diplomats for Equality.

Vandaag is de Internationale Dag tegen Homofobie, Bifobie en Transfobie. België betreurt en veroordeelt ten stelligste de heropflakkering van discriminatie en geweld tegen LGBTQI+-personen, ook in Europa. Al te vaak zijn LGBTQI+-mensen nog steeds het doelwit van geweld, intimidatie, stigmatisering en desinformatiecampagnes die haat aanwakkeren. Onze diplomatieke en consulaire posten zullen veilige plekken blijven voor LGBTQI+-mensen en onze diplomaten zullen lokale en nationale initiatieven ondersteunen, onder meer door deel te nemen aan bewustmakings- en belangenbehartigingsevenementen, zoals Pride-marsen en Diplomats for Equality.

Vandaag vieren we de verjaardag van de ondertekening van de Schuman-verklaring op 9 mei 1950. 40 jaar geleden werd Europadag voor het eerst officieel gevierd en sindsdien zijn de EU-vlag en het Europese hymne gemeengoed.
