The countries of the Nordic and Baltic regions – Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, and Sweden – hold their yearly joint National Days celebration together, and invited Ukraine to join them. Prague is the only place where this celebration has been arranged for many years. We fully agree with Ambassadors when they say that „our strength thrives not only in our economies and our alliances but above all in our values. Solidarity, justice, respect for human rights, and fundamental freedoms form the foundation of our societies. It works both inwards and outwards.“ We all stand for Ukraine together as great allies and partners.
This time, the celebration took place at the beautiful Fanta Hall at Prague’s main train station. One of the most beautiful Art Nouveau buildings in the capital.
The Honorable speaker was Mr. Miloš Vystrčil, President of the Senate.
