History

[edit]

After the Belgian Revolution and the establishment of the Kingdom of Belgium on 4 October 1830, the United Kingdom was one of the first states to recognize the sovereignty of the Belgian state and to establish diplomatic relations. For Belgium, the London legation became the most important foreign diplomatic relationships. The British government supported the convening of the London Conference of 1830 and Treaty of London in 1839, which resulted in the international recognition of Belgium.
