Relations between Sweden and Denmark have never been better. For that reason, we have every opportunity to strengthen them even further. So let’s embrace the positive! Removing border obstacles and disseminating information about how easy it is to work and live across the Nordic Region contributes to that. And what is good for one country will benefit the others, too.
