Today, Minister for Foreign Affairs @MariaStenergard presented Sweden’s new Arctic Strategy.
The Strategy reflects a new security situation – the most serious for Sweden since the Second World War. The Strategy reinforces Swedish Arctic policy by defining the links between security policy, resilient communities, the economy, and the environment and climate. The aim of Sweden’s Arctic policy is a peaceful and secure Arctic, with sustainable and resilient communities and reduced environmental and climate impact.

Sweden expresses grave concern over the drone strike on the Barakah nuclear power plant in the UAE. Military activity that threatens nuclear safety is unacceptable and dramatically increases the risk of a nuclear disaster with profound national and international consequences.

Hans Grundberg on the agreement reached to release over 1,600 conflict-related detainees says:

“The agreement will soon bring the joy of reunion to thousands of families. It can also give renewed hope to those still waiting for their relatives to be released. In particular, I hope that today’s momentum can help advance the release of UN and other colleagues who remain in arbitrary detention.”

Sweden strongly condemns Iran’s attacks against civilian infrastructure in the United Arab Emirates. We stand in full solidarity with the UAE and all those affected.

A lasting solution to the conflict has to provide security to the countries in the region from Iranian threats and attacks, and ensure a full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. This is essential for both regional and global security.

Last week, @SweAmbKSA attended a luncheon hosted by the Shura Council Friendship Committee covering Sweden and several other countries in Riyadh.

Warm thank you to Dr. Issa Al Otaibi, Member of the Council and Chairman of the Shura Parliamentary Friendship Committees, and to the esteemed members for the opportunity to meet and engage in dialogue in a welcoming setting.

At 09:00 Swedish time, the Swedish Armed Forces' first military reconnaissance satellite was launched into space. The satellite means Sweden's defence is now operational in the space domain and gives it a sovereign national capability to detect and analyse threats globally.

I spoke today with His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tariq Al Said, Sultan of Oman.

I expressed the EU's support and solidarity with Oman and all countries in the region affected by the war in Iran. We condemn all attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure in the region, without exception.

Restoring freedom of navigation and safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz is a shared priority. This is especially important given Oman’s position as a littoral state.

Diplomacy is the only sustainable way forward to solve this crisis, and Oman has a key role to play as a trusted mediator. The EU stands ready to support.

Good.

Wherever Donald Trump throws tantrums, hurls insults, and demands people kiss his ass for nothing, that's exactly where Zelensky and Ukrainians should appear with respect, predictability, concrete solutions to your problems, and cooperation in exchange for what Ukraine needs.

[Andrii Sybiha 🇺🇦 @andrii_sybiha]

As part of President @ZelenskyyUa’s visit to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, I was pleased to hold bilateral talks with my Saudi counterpart @FaisalbinFarhan and discuss how we put our leaders’ agreements into action.

I informed His Royal Highness about the battlefield situation and the fact that Ukraine has passed the most difficult winter in its history. We also spoke about peace efforts.

I updated my counterpart on our European affairs, the successful unblocking of the €90 billion and the 20th EU sanctions package.

We discussed the strategic tracks of our partnership, ranging from food security to Ukraine’s role as a strong and reliable security partner in the Middle East and beyond.

We are ready to swiftly advance our partnership that strengthens both of our nations.

[António Costa @eucopresident]

Today we welcomed partners from Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and the GCC to our Leaders’ meeting in Cyprus.

The current situation underscores how closely Europe’s security is linked with that of the Middle East, and how vital our cooperation on security and defence has become.

Sweden is increasing its humanitarian support to Lebanon by SEK 70 million.

More than 1.2 million people have been forced to flee. That is equivalent to one fifth of Lebanon’s population. Sweden’s support helps provide emergency housing, food, medical care and psychosocial support.

Sweden’s support to Lebanon in 2026 now totals SEK 135 million.

Amman, 21 April 2026 - The Office of the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for Yemen (OSESGY) convened a new round of technical meetings in Amman from 19 to 20 April within the framework of the Military Coordination Committee (MCC).

Building on the previous meetings with MCC representatives from the Government of Yemen and the Joint Forces Command, this meeting brought together MCC representatives from Riyadh and Sana’a. The participants discussed the current context in Yemen and the region and explored ways to improve security for Yemenis through deescalation and continued dialogue.

Based on a commitment from all sides, OSESGY is planning to convene all three delegations of the MCC in the coming period.

Självklart tog kungen och Zelenskyj i hand. När verkligheten inte räcker till tar propagandan över. Sveriges starka stöd till Ukraina gör uppenbarligen Ryssland så stressat att de känner sig tvingade att förvränga verkligheten. Låt oss fortsätta vårt stöd, och också hålla stången mot rysk desinformation.
