Met with all the hard-working embassy staff at Sweden in India. They are vital to our strong relationship with India. ⭐️ Together we shared some classic Swedish semlor. Did you know that Sweden and India last year celebrated 75 years of bilateral relations? 🇸🇪🇮🇳

A wonderful and conclusive speech in the UN Security Council by 🇵🇱 colleague Radosław Sikorski 🇵🇱🇪🇺 about 🇷🇺 guilt. The speech should be seen by everyone. First class!

Om Sverige hade varit Israel och Norge Palestina. 👇 En tänkvärd karta som åskådliggör hur palestinierna trängs undan av Israels illegala ockupation. Ett slut på ockupationen krävs för fred och en tvåstatslösning (och nej jag avskyr Hamas så försök inte med den).

1) Increase in gang violence & gun crime in Sweden a very important story. But, when covering Sweden -- from immigration to COVID to crime -- intl news outlets utterly obsessed w/framing Sweden in mythological, utopian terms. Sweden as a "lost utopia." Result is shallow coverage.

Har ni faktiskt någon gång träffat mjukisarna på XR i Sverige? Gruppen i Malmö bestämde att blockera flyggplatsen på en tid när ingen flygplan skulla anlända eller avresa eftersom 'de ville inte att det skulle vara jobbigt för vanliga människor' aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/Q7pq…

Fascinating comparison of impact of immigration to UK and Sweden (among others) by John Burn-Murdoch in FT. Immigrants to UK pay far more into system than they take. Not so in Sweden. ft.com/content/c6bb73…

Hi S Choudhry I'm writing an article for The Local on Swedish cricket and would love to talk to you about joining the RF in 2016. Is there any way I can get in touch?

This is maybe the most effective piece of multimedia reporting I have ever scrolled through. Horrific. The senselessness of it all. bellingcat.com/news/2024/04/2…
