On 5th of April, members of the America Europe Youth Forum (AEYF) had the opportunity to visit the Belgian Permanent Representation to NATO and NATO Headquarters. It was an enriching experience that shed light on the transatlantic relationship.
We had the privilege of being welcomed by Ambassador Ariadne Petridis, who shared insights into Belgium's role within NATO and the organization's overarching mission. Attaché Bert Goormans delivered an insightful presentation on NATO's structure, with a particular focus on the pressing topics of cyber and hybrid warfare, which are of paramount importance in today's world. We extend our gratitude to Ambassador Petridis, Attaché Goormans for hosting us. Special thanks is also directed towards Topsana Du Bois and Jasper Maesen for their support in making this visit possible.
It was truly a pleasure to learn from such esteemed professionals and AEYF is immensely grateful for the valuable time shared. This visit was not only educational but also reaffirmed our commitment to strengthening transatlantic relations through fostering dialogue and understanding across the ocean.
