The Belgian and French Prime Ministers hold talks in Brussels on Monday aimed at bolstering counter-terror cooperation after Belgium came under fire for failing to help prevent the Paris attacks.
Charles Michel of Belgium and Manuel Valls of France, joined by their Interior and Justice Ministers, will also tackle the broader threat of terrorism across the European Union and the Schengen passport-free zone that allows unhindered travel, a French official said.
The mini-summit, due to start at 1545 GMT (2115 IST), will focus on “French-Belgian cooperation on the subject of fighting terrorism and radicalisation” and how to “reinforce it,” a French official said following tensions between the two neighbours over the issue.
