Location:

As a Swedish municipality, Gävle kommun's activities are primarily focused on its local jurisdiction. Its 'global presence' is expressed through international cooperation, including twin city partnerships (e.g., Jūrmala in Latvia, Gjøvik in Norway, Næstved in Denmark, Rauma in Finland, Álftanes in Iceland, and Buffalo City in South Africa), participation in EU projects, and cultural exchanges. These international links aim to foster mutual learning, cultural understanding, and local development rather than establish operational offices abroad.
