^^ Oh, I see. He's there just to see how things work not exactly to participate actively in the meeting, right?

Correct

I thought this meeting was more about promoting business and commerce among the European countries rather than politics.

He is doing most of his internship with Viviane Reding, a member of the European Commission from Luxembourg, she is responsible for Justice, Fundamental Rights and Citizenship, but he will also spend time with other commissioners. The third week the Hereditary Grand Duke will spend with the permanent representation of Luxembourg to the EU.

Yesterday he accompanied Jean Asselborn, the minister for Foreign Affairs, to a meeting. It was a meeting of the Foreign Affairs Council where all 27 foreign ministers of the members meet to deal with the EU's external actions, this time it was about Iran (oil embargo), Syria and Egypt.

This sounds like it would have been a perfect occasion for the HGD's Belgian fiancee to put in an appearance, no?

Thanks for the photos.
