On 12 February, Minister for Foreign Affairs Maria Malmer Stenergard presented the Government’s 2025 Statement of Foreign Policy in the Riksdag.
The Statement, which summarises the Government’s foreign policy priorities for 2025, contains a number of focus areas:
“This year’s Statement of Foreign Policy is being presented in a difficult security era. We – Sweden, the EU and NATO – are in the midst of a long-term confrontation with Russia. Russia will continue to pose a serious threat to the security of Europe, regardless of the outcome of the war in Ukraine. Our task is inescapable: we will constrain Russia’s capability to do us harm, particularly through our support to Ukraine,” says Ms Stenergard.
