Statement of Foreign Policy
Mr Speaker,
I want to begin this year s Statement of Foreign Policy by saying something that is obvious to us all.
Politics matters.
This year marks 100 years since women were first able to exercise their right to vote in a parliamentary election. This was the milestone that made Sweden a democracy. Democracy is something we take for granted, but it is still denied to the majority of the world s population.
The Government is working for an international order based on international law, with rules and agreements rather than might is right . With our clear security policy line, solidarity-based aid, climate and environment investments, feminist foreign policy and strong trade policy, we not only safeguard our own country, but also contribute to peace, security and development, and democracy globally.

The Holocaust is also part of Sweden s history, they said in an op-ed in Wednesday s edition of Stockholm daily Dagens Nyheter.
The proposal for a Swedish museum about the Holocaust was made in 2018 by Polish-born Holocaust survivor Max Safir, who for several years gave talks in schools and parliament about his war-time experiences. He died in June.
