From 25 May to 8 June 2019, the Swedish Embassy will tour the United Kingdom. From Brighton to Edinburgh, we will travel through England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland to meet people, businesses and institutions who together make up the strong relationship between our two countries.
Sweden comes to Cardiff on the 30th May!
The Swedish Ambassador Torbjörn Sohlström and Embassy staff will visit Cardiff and set up our Pop-Up Embassy in Cardiff City Centre, from 11.30-17.00, location: Queen Street - Outside Capitol Shopping Centre, CF10 2HQ.
First Minister of Wales Mark Drakeford AM, and Minister for International Relations and Welsh Language Eluned Morgan AM, will come to meet the Ambassador at his Embassy on wheels at various times during our visit.
The Ambassador, and Honorary Consul for Sweden in Cardiff Elisabeth Roth, will attend a working lunch with Swedish foreign direct investors in Wales, and Welsh exporters who are active in the Swedish market.
The visit aims to celebrate Welsh-Swedish collaborations and strengthen future relations.
