The Belgium Government is looking to more Indian companies investing in that country. "Belgium is the third largest country of investment for India. Last year, Indian companies invested $4 billion in our country," said Mr Vincent Van Quickenborne, Secretary of State for Administrative Reform, Belgium.
The Belgian Prime Minister, accompanied by a high-level delegation including the Deputy Prime Minister, , is in India for an official State visit.
"Energy and pharma sectors are possible areas where we can tie up with Indian companies," said Mr Van Quickenborne. "We have spoken to companies like Jet Airways, who are looking to have a direct air-link between Mumbai and Brussels. Our Prime Minister has also met with top Indian companies like Tata and Reliance," he added.
Mr Van Quickenborne was speaking at the inauguration of the Belgian visa application centre in Mumbai, which has been outsourced to VFS India Private Ltd. The Belgium Government has appointed VFS India to manage the Belgian visa application centre to help visa applicants through voice, e-mail, and face-to -face communication. VFS will also help in dissemination of information, pre-scrutiny of visa applicants, database creation and scheduling of interviews.
