The Belgian Foreign Trade Agency (BFTA) - Brussels - Belgium

The Belgian Foreign Trade Agency (BFTA) is a public institution, which is an incorporated body, founded under the Cooperation Agreement (only available in French and Dutch) of 24 May 2002 agreed between the Federal Authority and the Regions (Belgian Official Gazette 20.12.02). The Belgian Foreign Trade Agency is managed by a Board of Directors whose Honorary President is His Majesty the King.

The Belgian Foreign Trade Agency is at the disposal of these three Regional authorities that promote exports, and also collaborates with the Federal Public Service Foreign Affairs. That is how the Agency acts as a vast platform in which the Federal competence of international relations and the Regional competence of foreign trade meet.
