Very good meeting yesterday in Nigeria 🇳🇬 between HE Foreign Minister @YusufTuggar and the Foreign Ministers of the Nordic 5:
⭐️🇸🇪🇩🇰🇫🇮🇮🇸🇳🇴 ⭐️
We look forward to strengthen our already strong partnership with Nigeria on all levels: trade, digitalization and green transition but to name a few.
Hon. Yusuf Maitama Tuggar@YusufTuggar
Nigeria's relationship with the Nordic countries (Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland, and Denmark) has evolved over decades, marked by diplomatic exchanges, trade, and strategic partnerships. These nations, known for their commitment to democracy, rule of law, and international cooperation, share values that align with Nigeria's goals. Today, we are honoured to welcome the Foreign Ministers of Sweden @TobiasBillstrom (Head of Delegation), Finland @elinavaltonen, Iceland @thordiskolbrun, and representatives from Norway @BjorgSandkjaer and Denmark, Eva Marie Frida Barløse, to Nigeria. This visit focused on key areas of collaboration: regional security, trade and investment, democracy, and climate change. As we pursue our Renewed Hope Agenda, this partnership offers immense potential to drive socio-economic progress, advance sustainable development goals, foster innovation, and enhance global cooperation. #NigeriaNordicRelations

We need a ceasefire in Gaza now. That’s the only way to save lives, restore hope for peace, and secure the return of hostages.
Thus I strongly support the efforts led by the U.S., Egypt, and Qatar to help achieve the peace and stability the region needs.

The EU joins Egypt, Qatar & the US in their call for concluding, without delay, the ceasefire & hostages release deal.
We reiterate our full support to their mediation to put an end to the unbearable cycle of suffering
The deal will also pave the way for regional de-escalation.

Bangladesh: We call for calm and restraint.
It is vital that a peaceful transition towards a democratically elected government is ensured, in full respect of human rights and democratic principles.
Accountability for human rights violations is crucial.

Very good news that @vkaramurza will be released from his illegal imprisonment by the Russian regime. He is a true champion for democracy and against Putins tyrannic rule.

Idag skärper UD Sveriges avrådan gällande resor till Israel och Palestina. Från och med nu gäller strikt avrådan från alla resor till båda länderna. Ta detta beslut på allvar. Säkerhetsläget i Mellanöstern är allvarligt och kan snabbt bli värre. UD följer utvecklingen mycket noga.

I met with my Swedish colleague @TobiasBillstrom at Sweden's first NATO summit after joining the Alliance.
I am grateful for Sweden's strong support of Ukraine's path to EU and NATO membership. Sweden will be another strong voice in favor of Ukraine’s accession.
We focused on Sweden’s contribution to Ukraine’s air defense, assistance in EU accession, and bilateral cooperation.
Given Stockholm’s Presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers, I emphasized the importance of the NB8-Ukraine format.
