Head of mission: Ms. Klaartje Genbrugge, Honorary Consul (confirmed in the diplomatic list of Belgium, 28 Nov 2024)
Belgium offers a rich cultural heritage and modern appeal, making it a vibrant tourist destination. Its historical significance, stunning architecture, and charming cities such as Brussels, Bruges, and Antwerp attract millions of visitors annually. As a result, it could be an appealing destination for a segment of Mongolia's 3 million population.
Belgium is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Mongolia. According to the Global Peace Index, Belgium ranks 16th out of 160 countries, indicating a high level of safety, especially compared to Mongolia, which ranks 44th. However, Belgium is ranked 39th among 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night, suggesting some caution is warranted in certain areas. In terms of crime statistics, Belgium has a significantly lower murder rate of 1.1 per 100,000 people compared to Mongolia's 6.2. Additionally, organized crime indices show that while both countries face challenges, Belgium generally has lower scores in various crime categories. Overall, while there are some safety concerns, Belgium is considered a safer destination than Mongolia for tourists.
