🇸🇪🇦🇺🇳🇿 Welcome Ambassador Klas Molin!
Sweden’s new Ambassador to Australia and New Zealand, Klas Molin, has officially begun his tenure after presenting credentials to H E the Honourable Sam Mostyn AC, Governor-General (Australia 🇦🇺) and The Rt Hon Dame Cindy Kiro (Aotearoa New Zealand 🇳🇿).
Ambassador Molin has extensive experience across Asia-Pacific, having been Ambassador to the Republic of India and to the Kingdom of Thailand while also accredited to several other countries in South and South-East Asia.
He’s looking forward to working closely with Australia and New Zealand, governments, and peoples. And yes, he’s already picked up on the local culture: “Being answered ‘too easy!’ to every request initially challenged me to be more demanding. Now I know better.”
Originally from Stockholm, Klas enjoys spending time outdoors with his partner, three sons, and grandson. He’s also on the lookout for a good bookstore, one with a café that serves coffee in the late afternoon 😀

“We have to drag our leaders to lead us,” comedian and podcaster Dan Ilic says about crowdfunding a Times Square billboard calling out lawmakers’ inaction on climate change.
The #NobelPrize committee couldn't reach Paul Milgrom to share the news that he won, so his fellow winner and neighbor Robert Wilson knocked on his door in the middle of the night.
