Victoria said at her speech among other things:
It is an honor to have been named a Goodwill Ambassador for UNDP. It gives me additional opportunities to support the work with the global goals for sustainable development. I look forward to immersing myself in UNDP's work in preventing and long-term elucidation of many of the difficult challenges we face today, challenges that affect people worldwide.
The speech:
H.K.H. Kronprinsessans tal efter utnämningen till goodwillambassadör för FN_s utvecklingsprogram UNDP _ Kungahuset

Press release from UNDP
Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme Achim Steiner:
“We are delighted to warmly welcome Crown Princess Victoria to our global UNDP family and our efforts to help build a greener, more sustainable and more inclusive future for all – a vision so clearly articulated in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As we reach ‘halftime’ in the race to achieve these SDGs, we are grateful to have the Crown Princess lend her voice and time to play a vital role in inspiring communities across the globe to take bold new action for people and planet.”
Minister for International Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade Johan Forssell:
”I am pleased that the Crown Princess will represent UNDP in this important role as Goodwill Ambassador for the SDGs. It's clear that more needs to be done and that all of us must contribute in order to reverse the negative development over the past few years. The Swedish Government actively contributes to the implementation of Agenda 2030. We are a leading contributor of development and climate finance, but other forms of financing are also necessary. We therefore work for an increased focus on innovative financing and mobilization of private capital in favor of the SDGs. The Swedish private sector has a central role to play, not least in terms of the green transition.”

Arriving to Hessian State Chancellery
Despite the rain, Victoria walked across the street and greeted the hundred or so waiting royal fans. A little boy held out a bouquet of flowers to her. “Is this one for me? Are you sure?” she asked the child in perfect German.
She went to a meeting room with Ambassador Veronika Wand-Danielsson and the Minister-President. The focus on their discussion was particularly on Swedish companies with important locations in Hesse, such as Ikea or the paper manufacturer Essity. But new joint projects such as the “E-Highway” at Frankfurt Airport were also discussed.
Boris Rhein began the conversation with a very personal note. “We have something in common: our two sons are called Oskar. Only mine is spelled with a K, yours with a C”. Victoria agreed with a smile.
After about an hour, Victoria left and said: “Please say hello to my mother, you'll see her before me.” (Minister-President Rhein is visiting the Childhood House in Frankfurt next Monday with Queen Silvia).
Rhein spoke enthusiastically about Victoria: “An incredibly likeable, open, opinionated and discussion-loving personality. I have to say, I am really deeply impressed.” He was particularly impressed by the fact that he was able to have the whole conversation with Victoria in German. “I’m a big fan of the Crown Princess of Sweden.”

I totally agree with Boris Rhein. Her visit to Germany is a big success! She is such an intelligent and lovable person. I will watch her speech tomorrow at Remembrance Day at the Bundestag which will be a live broadcast.

The royal court at its website about the seminar.
During the seminar, a panel discussion was held on how the lack of clean water, sanitation and hygiene creates problems in Tanzania and what is required to solve the problems. The panel discussion was led by Jenny Strömstedt.

One of the participants at the panel discussion was Jan Eliasson, ambassador for WaterAid, former deputy secretary-general of the UN and former Swedish foreign minister. He is Victoria's mentor and their meeting was very warm:

WaterAid Sweden at its social media:
Thank you so much for yesterday! We want to say a big thank you to everyone who attended @operakallarenfoundation's breakfast yesterday, we are so happy about the great commitment. Extra thanks to the panelists - and not least Abbe Ibrahim, the initiator of the Operakällaren Foundation and the driving force behind the whole event. We would also like to thank WaterAid's patron H.R.H. Crown Princess Victoria who was present in the audience. The Crown Princess is WaterAid's patron and has long been committed to the right to clean water.
The breakfast offered mingling and networking between both our partners, industry colleagues and ambassadors, and the panel discussion on many important and inspiring points. The panel talked about how the water issue is connected to many other global goals such as girls' education, gender equality, reduced poverty, combating climate change, etc.
We hope that everyone took away inspiration, knowledge and a renewed belief that together we can solve the water crisis. Or as Jan Eliasson put it: "Nobody can do everything but everyone can do something. It is undignified to give up.”"

Victoria attends on December 6 the Sweden-Finland Association's celebration of Independence Day and the 100th anniversary 2024.

Researcher Betty Ehnvall, 32, from Jakobstad in Finland is rewarded for her research on how wetlands have developed since the ice age on the Swedish side of the Gulf of Bothnia at a ceremony in the Moderna museet on Finland's Independence Day. Victoria is among the guests of honour.
Ehnvall says: It is great fun and feels even greater to receive the award when she is there. If I understood correctly, she is interested in nature. Maybe I'll get the chance to talk bogs with her and ask if she's ever visited a wetland or possibly picked cloudberries.
