.@SweAmbEU has signed the EU–Mercosur agreement in Brussels on behalf of Sweden. This comprehensive trade agreement creates opportunities for growth, jobs and sustainable development for both the EU and the Mercosur countries - Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay.

Opponents on the pitch, united off it. Good luck tonight to the blue and yellow! 💙💛🇸🇪🇺🇦

🇺🇦🇸🇪 Thank you, Sweden, for the new support package for Ukraine of nearly SEK 240 million (approximately USD 26 million). The package is focused on the needs of children, including school meals close to the front line, support for organisations working on children’s mental health, as well as advancing reforms towards family-based care. It also includes a wide range of humanitarian assistance. We deeply appreciate this support that reinforces Ukraine’s resilience!

At the #HRC61 urgent debate the Nordic-Baltic countries #NB8 strongly condemn Iran’s military strikes against third states not involved in armed hostilities and call on the Iranian regime to end violence and repression against its own people statement➡️shorturl.at/CtwI5

EU and Australia reach free trade agreement! 🇪🇺🇦🇺 This agreement will improve opportunities for trade and investment, and sends an important signal about the EU and Australia’s wide-ranging and close relations. It will strengthen Sweden’s economy and could create up to 6 000 exports jobs domestically. The free trade agreement is expected to benefit both producers and consumers, and will be relevant for a number of sectors, such as: ·        textiles ·        vehicles ·        wood and paper ·        metals and machinery Areas such as sustainability and security in value chains are also highlighted in the agreement, which is important for a trade-dependent country such as Sweden. While others are building barriers, the EU and Australia are building bridges for strong, rules-based global trade.

“At the European Council in December, we agreed on the €90 billion support package for 🇺🇦, sending a clear signal: We stand with 🇺🇦 for as long as it takes. The fact that Hungary is blocking the agreement is unacceptable. I will push for the support to be delivered and ensure Ukraine gets the support it needs as quickly as possible.”   @SwedishPM at #EUCO

The execution of a Swedish citizen by the Iranian regime is a brutal act of senseless violence. Read the full statement by HR/VP @kajakallas here: link.europa.eu/GjK9tm

I have, in talks with Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, in the strongest possible terms condemned the execution of a Swedish citizen today. Responsibility for this abhorrent execution rests solely with Iran.

Sweden and the @WorldBankGroup are celebrating 75 years of partnership this year. The World Bank is the single largest channel for Swedish development assistance and a key partner in poverty reduction, economic reforms and good governance in developing countries. Sweden’s overall support to Ukraine via the World Bank will total SEK 2.8 billion in 2026. Yesterday, Minister for International Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade @BenjaminDousa received World Bank Managing Director of Operations Anna Bjerde in Stockholm for discussions on continued strong cooperation.
