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 is coming to Glasgow on the 7th of June!
The Swedish Ambassador Torbjörn Sohlström and Embassy staff will visit Glasgow and set up our Pop-Up Embassy on George Square from 2-5pm.
Lord Provost of Glasgow Eva Bolander will come to meet the Ambassador at his Embassy on wheels soon upon arrival.
The Ambassador and the Lord Provost of Glasgow will also co-host a Civic Reception to mark the Embassy’s visit to the city.
The visit aims to celebrate Scottish-Swedish collaborations and strengthen future relations.
Pop-Up Embassy, 7 June, 2-5pm
Location: George Square, G2 1DU
You will get the chance to meet the Ambassador of Sweden to the UK, Torbjörn Sohlström, and his colleagues from the Embassy.
We hope to connect with some of the 100,000 Swedes and 1,000 Swedish companies who live and operate in the UK. And of course, we aim to meet as many Britons as possible who are interested in learning more about Sweden.
