Welcome to the Embassy of Sweden in Tokyo, Japan.
Exploring new opportunities for cooperation in green transition, digital infrastructure and research

From 2–8 March 2026, H.E. Viktoria Li, Ambassador of Sweden to Japan, together with a delegation from the Embassy of Sweden, conducted an official visit to Hokkaido. The delegation visited Sapporo, Ebetsu, Tobetsu, Tomakomai, Wakkanai and Asahikawa, engaging with local governments, companies and research institutions to exchange views and explore potential cooperation across a wide range of areas including green technologies, digital infrastructure, research collaboration and regional development.
Hokkaido and Sweden share many similarities: northern climates, vast natural environments, and a strong awareness of sustainability shaped by these conditions. The visit marked an important first step in strengthening ties between Sweden and Hokkaido.
