During the discussions, the delegation presented the Commission’s accomplishments to date and outlined upcoming activities. The Commissioners explained that the agenda collection session for Ethiopians in Sweden and neighboring countries will take place in Stockholm on October 4, 2025, at Stockholmsmässan AB, SE-125 80 Stockholm.
