In his speech, King Carl Gustaf said: “In recent years, several large companies have established themselves here in the county and others are underway. And as the green transition continues, the forest becomes increasingly important. The key is to find the right balance between production and conservation. All of you who live in one of Sweden's forest counties know that. Yes, it's the balance it depends on. The balance between nurturing traditions and allowing them to be complemented by new ones. The balance between, on the one hand, remembering and learning from history, on the other hand, looking forward and seeking solutions to the problems of our time.”

Queen Silvia wore a repeated suit with repeated pumps, her Hermes bag, her Hermes scarf, and her Cartier bracelet.
