The Swedish Crown Princess Victoria arrived on Friday for a three-day visit to Germany. First we went to Frankfurt.
A little later, Crown Princess Victoria went on to a reception at the Hessian State Chancellery in Wiesbaden. There she was welcomed by Hesse’s Prime Minister Boris Rhein (51) for a cultural and economic exchange, as the State Chancellery announced. Victoria also signed the guest book. The visit should help “strengthen common values and create new opportunities for increased cooperation,” explained Rhein.
There will also be a gala dinner this Friday. In the evening, Victoria will take part in the Swedish Business Awards ceremony at the Kurhaus Wiesbaden, where, among other things, she will give a short speech. According to the Swedish Chamber of Commerce, this year is the 20th time the prize has been awarded.
