In Memoriam
On behalf of our Chamber, we would like to express our grief, solidarity, and our profound dismay, as well as to condemn these cowardly terrorist attacks that have struck so many innocent victims on March 22, 2016, in Brussels.
At this sad time, our thoughts go out to the victims and to their families.
Following the events, we have received many messages of solidarity from around the world including those of various Arab Mixed Chambers of Commerce. All of them share our deep sadness, misunderstanding, and our pain, but they also share our hope for a more peaceful world.
We shall work together and cooperate beyond borders to face these terrorist attacks targeting innocent people all around the world. This is where our Belgian and European Mottos “unity is strength” and “united in diversity” take on their full dimension.
Yes, we will grieve, but we will also show our resistance and resilience in response to the terrorist threat, and we will stand firm!
