With great sadness, we inform about the passing of Jean-Marie de Baerdemaeker, a great friend of Poland in Belgium and former President of Belgian Business Chamber.

Jean-Marie De Baerdemaeker was the Honorary Consul of Poland in Ghent since 2006. His involvement in Polish matters started in 1999 when he came to Cracow to work as a vice president of the First Polish-American Bank. He was always committed to support and develop Polish-Belgian business contacts and worked – firstly – as a managing director, and then, as a board member in the BEPOLUX - The Belgian - Luxembourg - Polish Chamber of Commerce.

In the name of Belgian business community in Poland, we are sending our condolences to the family.

Jean-Marie de Baerdemaeker will always be remembered...
