Site Map Crown Prince of Belgium Statement Statement by his Royal Highness Prince Philippe of Belgium, Duke of Brabant Global launch UNDP Human Development Report Egmont Palace, Brussels 15th July 2004 Mr Administrator, Ministers, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, 1. I am delighted to attend this ceremony that marks the official publication of the 2004 Human Development Report. We must be grateful for all the work done by UNDP to foster the development of mankind, and to produce such a fine analysis of human progress. I would like to share with you today a few remarks inspired by the Report, and also to give you one or two personal views. 2. What struck me in the report is the fact that UNDP recognises that human development depends on how different cultures, different civilisations, will live peacefully together in almost every society. The success of this endeavour is also a prerequisite for the economic development of the world. The report is therefore right in stating that cultural liberty has to be further pursued through proper multicultural policies as described in the various chapters.

When we say that identities today are becoming more complex, this certainly applies to immigrants as well. Having come for a limited time, they are now permanently settled and are helping, in their host communities, to add a new dimension, if not to management, at least to reception of their home cultures. 150. In Belgium, it was the transition from one generation to the next, from the older immigrants to their descendants, which sparked the debate on immigrant cultures. Initially treated with the greatest indifference, these cultures now attract the interest of numerous groups - from academics through field workers to immigrants themselves, who want to know more about their home cultures. Today, this trend connects with a sense of the need to bring all sections of the community, including immigrants, together. English Web Site (E) var wysi=0;

100. Belgium: Character And Culture belgium character and culture belgium has, since the Middle Ages, always been one of the richest and most developed regions in the world (just look at http://www.aquaculture.ugent.be/x-files/larvi95/htdocs/james/larvi/larvi958.htm

Belgium: character and culture Author: F. Heylighen. Situation of the country The "peaceful anarchism" of Brussels architecture may well be the feature that best characterizes Belgium as a whole. During its history of over 2000 years, the region has almost continuously been occupied by foreign powers: from the Romans to the Spanish, the Austrians, the French, the Dutch and the Germans. This has made the Belgians critical of any form of authority, and laws, rules and regulations are not taken very seriously (tax evasion is one of the national sports). This individualistic, anti-authoritarian attitude is perhaps best exemplified by the famous literary figure of Thyl Uilenspiegel, who mocked the Spanish authorities during the 16th century occupation. The governing of the country is very much complicated by the particular structure with three language communities (Flanders in the North, Wallonia in the South, and a tiny German speaking region in the East), and the multilingual, multicultural and multinational status of Brussels. The language in Wallonia is French. The language in Flanders is Flemish, which is officially the same language as the Dutch which is spoken in Holland. In practice, the differences between Flemish and Dutch (mostly pronunciation, also vocabulary and expressions) are comparable to the differences between British and American English, and are just big enough so that Dutch TV sometimes add subtitles to Flemish spoken movies. Although Brussels is surrounded by Flemish territory, the majority there speaks French. Flanders comprises about 55% of the 10 million of Belgian inhabitants, Brussels 10 % and Wallonia the remaining 35%.
