Attending the Annual Reception at Torstenson Palace Hosted by the Governor of West Sweden

I am attending with company at the annual reception hosted by the Governor of West Sweden at Torstenson Palace, the official residence in Gothenburg.

The Governor, known as the ‘Landshövding,’ is the head of the county administrative board in Västra Götaland County. Torstenson Palace, also referred to as ‘Kungshuset’ or ‘the King’s House,’ was formerly the residence of the Swedish king in Gothenburg.
