The parties drew attention to the development of international cooperation, strengthening interregional ties, particularly between the cities of Konotop and Linköping, and the importance of supporting internally displaced persons.
A key part of the agenda was an overview of the construction site of a modular town in Sumy, which is being created with the financial support of the Swedish Red Cross and Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA).
