Camilla Waltersson Grönvall said, “Strengthening children’s rights and helping children who are in vulnerable situations is important both to me as the responsible minister for children’s rights and to the government. I am delighted that HM the Queen gave me the opportunity to make this trip to Warsaw. The Queen’s long-term commitment to children’s rights issues is a great source of inspiration for me and all of us.”
