We are very grateful for his efforts”, says Nylander. “At the same time it is a great pleasure to welcome the new chair, Kim Traavik. His vast experience from international diplomacy and politics makes him uniquely well placed to give direction to the work ahead of us. I very much look forward to engaging with him and to the continued good cooperation with the entire board”, says Nylander.
