VLADIVOSTOK (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 24th September, 2018) Stockholm will consider opening its second consulate-general in Russia in the country's Far Eastern city of Vladivostok, Swedish Ambassador to Moscow Peter Ericson said on Monday.
According to a statement published on the official website of the city administration, Ericson held a meeting with Vladivostok mayor Vitaly Verkeenko, who proposed the Swedish diplomat to consider the possibility of opening Swedish Consulate-General in Vladivostok.
"At the moment, only one Swedish Consulate-General works in Russia, it is situated in St.
Petersburg. This year, we have closed consulates-general in New York and Los Angeles, however, we see the opportunities of your city and the opening [of the consulate-general] will be considered," Ericson said as quoted by the Vladivostok authorities.
The Vladivostok mayor, in turn, pointed out that a total of seven consulates-general and 16 honorary consuls had been working in the city, more than in almost any other Russian city. He also expressed his readiness to sign a sister cities agreement with a city in Sweden.
