Brussels, 9 May 2026 — The Ambassador of the Republic of Kazakhstan to the Kingdom of Belgium Roman Vassilenko and Embassy staff took part in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Brussels City Cemetery in the commune of Evere in tribute to those who perished during the Second World War, as well as members of the Belgian Resistance movement against Nazism.

Participants of the ceremony observed a minute of silence in memory of the fallen and laid wreaths at the memorials.

The Republic of Kazakhstan consistently advocates preserving the historical memory of the tragic events of the Second World War, as well as strengthening peace, mutual understanding, and international cooperation.

Background: The municipal cemetery in the commune of Evere, part of the Brussels-Capital Region, contains burial sites of natives of various republics of the former Soviet Union — prisoners of war and members of resistance movements who died on the territory of Belgium during the Second World War. A monument commemorating those who fell during the liberation of Belgium was inaugurated at the cemetery in 1999.
