In Paris for a Coalition of the Willing summit. We’re determined to strengthen support for Ukraine and increase the pressure on Russia.

Today we also launch the Anti-Ballistic Missile Coalition. Sweden and Saab play key roles, strengthening Swedish and European security.

Ravi de vous revoir monsieur le Président @EmmanuelMacron​.

I welcome France’s decision today to join NATO’s Forward Land Forces (FLF) presence in Finland, where Sweden is lead nation.

Important discussions on NATO deterrence, European security and defence and our strategic innovation partnership.

Strong focus on defence, energy, space and growth.

[Maria M Stenergard @MariaStenergard]

Important meeting on defence industry hosted by @SecRubio. There is an urgent need to turn defence investments into real NATO capabilities and ramp up transatlantic defence production. Lots to learn from Ukraine. Sweden is ready to contribute with our innovative defence companies.

[Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs @SweMFA]

Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, Minister for Foreign Affairs Maria Malmer Stenergard and Minister for Defence Pål Jonson are now in Ankara for the NATO Summit.

Earlier this year, Sweden hosted the meeting of NATO Ministers of Foreign Affairs in Helsingborg, just two years after joining the Alliance.

This was an opportunity for Sweden to show that through its NATO membership it has found its rightful home – and an opportunity for NATO to visit Sweden at home.

The meeting in Helsingborg also set the tone for the NATO Summit in Ankara on 7–8 July.

The agenda for the Summit includes the Allied countries’ commitments for a stronger NATO, a stronger defence industry and continued support to Ukraine.

Sweden is taking its responsibility. We are making the necessary investments to build a stronger Europe and a stronger NATO together with other Allies.

Great news! I am proud that NATO has chosen the Swedish platform GlobalEye as the Alliance’s new platform for airborne early warning and control.

GlobalEye will contribute greatly to core needs for our collective defense. Great for NATO and great day for Swedish jobs 🤝

[Sweden at NATO @SwedenNato]

Sweden's defence industry now at the heart of NATO's future air surveillance. GlobalEye — Swedish technology, Canadian airframe — "sees far, connects sensors and helps commanders act earlier," says Defence Minister @PlJonson. A concrete Swedish contribution to collective defence. #NATOSummit

[Pål Jonson @PlJonson]

The threat has changed. Russia’s war against Ukraine shows modern warfare: missile salvos, low-flying cruise missiles, drones in waves, electronic warfare and attacks on critical infrastructure. NATO needs to see farther, faster and across several domains. (2/3)

[Ulf Kristersson @SwedishPM]

Arrived in Ankara for the NATO summit.

Our priorities are to reaffirm our defence commitment for a stronger Europe in a stronger NATO, to ramp-up defence industrial production and to ensure longterm and sustainable support for Ukraine.

Sweden can be proud about its contributions to all those priorities.

[NATO @NATO]

At the #NATOsummit in Ankara, Allies will demonstrate how NATO is building for the future, ensuring we have the forces and capabilities we need and that responsibility is more fairly shared across the Alliance

Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸! We celebrate the United States' 250th anniversary and the strong ties our countries share. I had the honour of presenting a unique replica of the 1783 Treaty of Amity and Commerce to the U.S. Embassy in Sweden, signed by Benjamin Franklin and ratified by King Gustav III - a symbol of our historic friendship.

[SupremeCommanderSWE @swe_chod]

100 years of air power. Proud of everyone who built the Swedish Air Force into one of the world’s most capable. Together with Allies, we defend freedom, deter aggression and strengthen Europe’s security. 🇸🇪✈️ @Forsvarsmakten @flygvapnet @NATO #WeAreNATO

[Maria M Stenergard @MariaStenergard]

Swedish innovation, Ukrainian resilience, European security 🇸🇪🇺🇦

[Pål Jonson @PlJonson]

Sweden has signed a sales contract with Ukraine for 16 Gripen E fighter aircraft, and FMV has signed the enabling contract with Saab. This is a major step for Ukraine’s freedom and Europe’s security. Gripen will strengthen Ukraine’s ability to defend its skies. (1/4)

[Pål Jonson @PlJonson]

The agreement is signed by Ukraine and the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration, FMV. It includes training and support, and prepares the planned donation of 16 JAS 39 C/D aircraft from Sweden’s 22nd military support package, aimed to begin in early 2027. (2/4)

[Pål Jonson @PlJonson]

We are grateful for the United Kingdom’s important contribution to making this possible. Support to Ukraine is strongest when allies and partners act together, combining financing, industry, training and political resolve in defence of freedom and European security. (3/4)

[Pål Jonson @PlJonson]

Swedish defence industry continues to show why it matters for Sweden, Ukraine and Europe. Gripen is advanced, resilient and built for demanding conditions. This is the first step in Ukraine’s stated ambition to acquire up to 150 Gripen E/F aircraft over time. (4/4)

[Pål Jonson @PlJonson]

🇸🇪🇵🇱 A major step for security in the Baltic Sea. Poland’s decision to acquire three A26 submarines from Saab marks a new chapter in Swedish-Polish relations. As Nato allies, we are deepening strategic, military and defence industrial cooperation in a decisive way. (1/3)

[Maria M Stenergard @MariaStenergard]

Productive meeting with my close colleague @sikorskiradek in Gdynia. Poland and Sweden are key stakeholders in strengthening security and stability in the Baltic Sea region. By combining our political, security and defence capabilities, we can act as one in the Baltic Sea.

[Mark Rutte @SecGenNATO]

At the #NATOsummit in Ankara, Allies will also reaffirm their unwavering support for Ukraine 🇺🇦

Ukraine has shown that they won’t be deterred by Russia’s aggression.

#NATO will continue to show that we won’t be either

[Mark Rutte @SecGenNATO]

Cash is crucial, but you cannot stop a missile or a tank with a dollar or a euro.

We need to turn the cash into combat-ready capabilities, and fast. This is another top priority for the #NATOsummit in Ankara
