Today I attended my first Executive Committee meeting with the Nordic Karate Federation as an EC member.
We had productive discussions and made several decisions that will support the continued development of the Nordic Karate Championships and strengthen cooperation between the Nordic federations.
I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the host nation Estonia and its president Toomas Vitsut for the warm hospitality and for organizing a very productive meeting.
My thanks also go to my colleagues for the positive and professional collaboration:
• Asbjørn Paulsen – President of the Danish Karate Federation
• Harry Heinonen – President of the Finnish Karate Federation
• Toufic Kawar – President of the Latvian Karate Federation
• Stian Berglund – President of the Norwegian Karate Federation
• Karolis Ciutra – President of the Lithuanian Karate Federation
• Ronja Halldórsdóttir – President of the Iceland Karate Federation
And also to the General Secretary of Sweden & Nordic Karate Federation, Sarah Wennerström Cedercrona.
Finally, I would like to wish our national team the very best of luck at the Nordic Championships. I look forward to an inspiring competition and strong performances on the tatami. 🥋🇸🇪
