Sweden’s Queen Silvia visited Germany on Wednesday for talks on violence against children.
Silvia was received by German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his wife Elke Büdenbender at Bellevue Palace in Berlin, after which she took part in a round table discussion with Interior Minister Nancy Faeser and Family Minister Lisa Paus.
The event was held to mark the 25th anniversary of the World Childhood Foundation, which Silvia co-founded in 1999 with the mission of helping children at risk of sexual abuse and violence.
Silvia, born in Germany, met her husband King Carl XVI Gustaf at the Olympic Games in Munich in 1972.
Steinmeier and Büdenbender already paid a three-day state visit to Sweden in 2021.
