The ABLCC is indeed strongly supported by the Arab Diplomatic Corps accredited in Brussels as well as a trusted partner and recognized voice among local economic authorities. Thanks to its 45-year experience in promoting trade and economic cooperation between Belgium, Luxembourg and Arab countries, the ABLCC enjoys an established network of businessmen, diplomats, officials and partner organizations on all levels in the 24 countries they represent.
