SWEDEN, June 10 - On 10–11 June, Minister for International Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade Johan Forssell will travel to Berlin to take part in the annual Ukraine Recovery Conference together with Business Sweden’s CEO Jan Larsson and Director-General of the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) Jakob Granit.

During his visit to Berlin, Mr Forssell will also meet with the German Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development Svenja Schulze. He will also visit the German Vattenfall office.
"I am proud to present Sweden’s strong support for Ukraine’s reconstruction at this year’s conference. In light of Russia’s latest escalation, it is of utmost importance that the international community come together to show its joint support for Ukraine. We must continue to collaborate internationally and make it easier for private companies that wish to support Ukraine’s resilience," says Mr Forssell.
On Monday, Mr Forssell will have a bilateral meeting with Ms Schulze. He will also take part in a lunch together with representatives of Swedish and German industry and business, where the topic of long-term European competitiveness will be addressed.
