Sweden seeks stronger ties with Philippines

At the Swedish National Day celebration on Thursday were Sweden’s Defense Minister of Pål Jonson, Swedish Ambassador Annika Thunborg and Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro.

Sweden is recognized as a global leader in innovation. Since 2016, when the embassy reopened, Team Sweden – comprised of its embassy, trade and investment council and the private sector – has been actively collaborating with the Philippines in innovation and development. “Sweden is committed to building a long-term and sustainable relationship with the Philippines. This is attested by the visits of our Minister of Trade Johan Forssell last year, the visit of State Secretary for Foreign Affairs Jan Knutsson and leading Swedish industrialist and banker Marcus Wallenberg earlier this year and now with the Swedish Defense Minister Pål Jonson,” Thunborg said.

“Peace and security have indeed for a long time been a priority area in the Swedish-Philippine relations. Sweden has since many years actively supported the Bangsamoro Peace Process, and our two countries also cooperate extensively on matters such as promoting and defending the UN Charter, the rules-based international order and respect for international law, including UNCLOS,” Jonson said.

Since 1983, Sweden has celebrated its National Day on June 6. This is the date on which Gustav Vasa was elected king in 1523, which laid the foundation of Sweden as a unified nation state, and on which a new, landmark constitution was adopted in 1809.BDO, SM launch Kabayan Tuesday para sa overseas Filipino families with Piolo PascualThinking of smarter buys?
