Ingen uppgift är viktigare för en regering än skyddet av Sverige och Sveriges befolkning. Vi har en tydlig bild över det osäkra omvärldsläget och vi kommer att fortsätta att hålla högt tempo i upprustningen. Verkligheten kräver det av oss. (6/6)

Sweden may be about to change its defence strategy.
A new proposal would launch a national defence export initiative (2026-2030) worth 300 million SEK.
The goal:
turn Swedish defence exports into a strategic tool for security and industry.
In other words:
more Gripen, more CV90, more GlobalEye — abroad.
Small countries don't sustain advanced defence industries without exports.

Poland has chosen Sweden as partner for its submarine program.
This shows the strength not only of the cooperation between our countries, but also of Sweden as a defense-industry nation. It is confirmation that the Swedish defense industry stands strong. Saab has a world-leading submarine program.
Poland and Sweden share a common view of the challenges to European security. Together, Sweden and Poland will take greater responsibility for security in the Baltic Sea. We are now significantly deepening our political, defense, and industrial cooperation.
In a time of uncertainty for our entire region, we are now strengthening our part of the world together.
The Solander Study Tour 2025 kick-off at The Waalmbal Birri Heritage and Culture Centre in Cooktown. A cinematic 🇦🇺🇸🇪 project involving indigenous groups and unis. It would be great to visit Cooktown with The Solander - Tupaia Cabinet of Curiosities. A joint 🇳🇿🇮🇸🇸🇪 art project.
