Business and politics go hand in hand in the capital city of Belgium, Brussels.
The city is known as the second international city in the world because it has numerous headquarters of international organisations and is also the capital of the European Union.
The headquarters of Nato is also in Brussels.
Apart from politics, the capital has a number of big banking institutions such as BNP Paribas, which has been present in Belgium since 1871.
The Brussels branch is part of its international network, which accounts for 202,500 employees in more than 84 countries.
BNP Paribas Group, which includes BNP Paribas Fortis, is the euro zone's largest bank by deposits. BNP Paribas Belgium is particularly dedicated to corporate and institutional clients.
