This was stated in an interview with Ukrinform by Mariana Betsa, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.

Commenting on the results of the high-level meeting of the International Coalition held this week in Brussels, Betsa said: “First and foremost, this concerns the expansion of the International Coalition as a coordination platform and mechanism to facilitate the return and reintegration of Ukrainian children. Panama, Switzerland, and Cyprus joined the Coalition. As a result, the Coalition now includes 49 countries and international organizations.”

She emphasized the particular importance of a country from the Global South joining the initiative.
