INFO - The Viw-promotion movie on Youtube / het Viw-promotiefilmpje op Youtube

This is the Dutch spoken / Bahasa Indonesia subtitled version.  
Naar aanleiding van het forum 'De Vergeten Vlaamse provincie' die VIW organiseerde in het Vlaams Parlement, liet het een gesmaakte promotiefilm maken. Een ludiek en informatief filmpje over de 300.000 Vlamingen in het buitenland, over hun verscheidenheid, over hoe ze Vlaanderen uitdragen,... VIW focust hierin op haar infomatie- en lobbyfunctie voor gezinnen, jongeren, terugkerende expats,... Het filmpje kan u sinds kort op Youtube bekijken. and of course on the blog (left column)

HAPPY NEW YEAR - New Years' Greetings from BLIC

Dear friends

2011 was a good BLIC year. Thank you for your BLIC support!

We held seven regular events plus a Belgium National Day dinner, a memorable football game and one golf tournament.

And our recent and well attended Christmas Dinner, enhanced by fine food and generously donated door prizes by some of our members, turned out to be a very joyous evening.

I also wish to thank Ambassador Tanghe and the Embassy staff for their support over this past year.

My best wishes to all of you for a happy New Year 2012! Looking forward to seeing you again in big numbers at the upcoming BLIC events in 2012.

Best regards

INDONESIA / BELGIUM - Belgian Chocolate conquers Indonesia - Indonesia's chocoholics lead an Asian quality wave

reuters.com - Dec 19 (Reuters) - Arriving in Indonesia just a little over a decade ago, Belgium chocolatier Thierry Detournay was dismayed at the lack of quality chocolate on offer in the world's third-largest cocoa producer.

But now, less than seven years after launch, his luxury Chocolate Monggo bars can be found in many of the gigantic and glitzy malls of downtown Jakarta.

As Southeast Asia's largest economy goes from strength to strength -- highlighted by a return to investment-grade status by Fitch Ratings this month -- Indonesia's Willy Wonka is one of many tapping into a growing Asian market for luxury chocolate.  (source)
