The 41-year-old politician was killed by a far-right terrorist in June 2016, during the EU referendum campaign.
A square in Brussels was renamed on Thursday after murdered British MP Jo Cox, who lived in the city when she worked at the European Parliament and for Oxfam.
The mother-of-two was murdered by Thomas Mair, a right-wing extremist in her West Yorkshire constituency, back in June 2016. Mair has since been sentenced to life in prison for the attack.
The Belgian capital is currently in the process of renaming more of its public spaces after women.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn attended the event in her honour.
“Jo was killed in brutal and horrible circumstances,” Corbyn said at the ceremony, adding that the MP “lived her life to make lives better for everybody else.”
“She loved her time in Brussels, she loved the spirit and the music, the internationalism, the globalism of this city, and she always gave this message, that we have far more in common, far more than unites us, than can ever possibly divide us."
"In her memory, let's build that better world. In her memory, let's reach out with our arms around her family and her children to show them we will never forget Jo," he said.
"Mr Mayor, thank you very much and thank you to the people of Brussels for this wonderful, truly wonderful gesture."

Brussels mayor Philippe Close said he was "very honoured" to be able to unveil the square in the presence of the 41-year-old's family and Corbyn.
Catherine Anderson, the CEO of the Jo Cox Foundation charity, called it a "lovely gesture" from the city of Brussels.
"To know that she will have a permanent place where she, and the values she stood by, can be remembered is a comfort and an honour," Kim Leadbeater, Cox's sister,
told the BBC.
