In one year Sweden will – for the third time – assume the EU Presidency to lead the work of the Council of the EU.
According to Minister for EU Affairs Hans Dahlgren, the most important task is to move the EU’s agenda forward and deliver decisions that benefit EU citizens. Together with the Czech Republic and France, Sweden is already part of the presidency trio that is jointly ironing out the work programme for the coming 18 months. This programme was jointly presented by the three EU Member States at the General Affairs Council on 14 December.
Sweden has diplomatic relations with almost all States in the world. It has embassies and consulates in around half of these. Sweden's foreign representation consists of approximately 100 missions abroad and 350 honorary consulates.
