The conference aims to strengthen partnerships, build greater cooperation and examine how the process of returning stolen artworks can be accelerated.
The Government will extend the Holocaust Act indefinitely as part of their commitment to reunite artwork with its rightful owners, seventy years on from when it was seized.
John Glen, Arts Minister:
