Madam President, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,
First of all, let me express my warmest gratitude to the Government of Japan for your hospitality and dedication in hosting this congress, despite the challenges of a global pandemic.
I also would like to thank the UNODC Secretariat and the Executive Director for all their efforts in organizing the 14th United Nations Congress on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice.
Sweden supports the statement made on behalf of the European Union by Commissioner Ylva Johansson. I would now like to elaborate on one of the important topics she addressed.
