News salad, and a conversation with Swedish Representative Helena Reitberger

This week, HANNA IS BACK! But we also had the very special pleasure of speaking with the outgoing Swedish Representative to Taiwan Helena Reitberger about the role of a trade office, how much Sweden and Taiwan really have in common, areas of cooperation, and how people can get involved themselves!
