Welcome to the Royal Consular Corps of Antwerp
The Royal Consular Corps of Antwerp (RCCA) brings together the consuls and honorary consuls accredited to the Province of Antwerp.
Founded more than a century ago, the Corps represents a long-standing tradition of diplomatic presence in one of Europe’s most dynamic port cities.
Today, the RCCA unites more than seventy consulates and acts as a forum for cooperation, dialogue, and friendship between the international community and the local authorities.
A Bridge Between Antwerp
and the World
Antwerp has always been a city of trade, culture, and innovation.
The Consular Corps plays an active role in connecting its global network to the region’s economic, cultural, and academic institutions.
Through regular meetings, networking events, and cultural initiatives, the RCCA fosters understanding and collaboration between nations represented in Antwerp and the city’s key stakeholders.
Run by Consuls,
for Consuls
The Royal Consular Corps of Antwerp is managed by an elected Executive Committee of consuls who volunteer their time and experience.
The Committee coordinates the Corps’ activities, maintains contact with Belgian authorities, and represents the interests of the consular community.
Membership in the RCCA is open to all career and honorary consuls officially recognized in the Province of Antwerp.
