History
Belgium and Germany share a large geographical border. The relationship between the two countries is marked by close political, economic and cultural cooperation between the two. For example, Germany is Belgium's first commercial partner and Belgium is Germany's seventh. Cooperation between the two states has increased steadily since the end of World War II. In 1951, Belgium was one of the first countries to recognize the Federal Republic of Germany and restart diplomatic relations with them.
