One of the things we love most about Sweden? Our Nordic neighbours!
We share more than borders — we’re united by values like sustainability, innovation, equality, and some of the highest happiness rankings in the world. Not to mention a strong connection to island life!♥️🤍💙💛

Here are five fun island facts from across the region:

🇳🇴 Norway – Svalbard is a remote Arctic island where polar bears outnumber people.
🇫🇮 Finland – Åland 🇦🇽 is a peaceful island region in the Baltic Sea with over 6,700 islands.
🇩🇰 Denmark – The Faroe Islands 🇫🇴 have 54,000 people… and 70,000 sheep.
🇮🇸 Iceland – A volcanic island full of glaciers, geysers and hot springs. In Swedish, it’s literally called Island!
🇸🇪 Sweden – With 267,570 islands, we’re one of the most island-rich countries on the planet.

Nordic Day is a celebration of the close cooperation between Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden — as well as the Faroe Islands, Greenland and Åland. It marks the signing of the Helsinki Treaty on 23 March 1962 — a symbol of our commitment to working together for a better, more connected region.

Happy Nordic Day from Sweden 🇸🇪 — and warm greetings to all our neighbours across the north!

Here’s to shared values, beautiful landscapes, and a future of continued cooperation.✨

Sweden’s support reaches those who need it most.

The humanitarian crisis in Syria is worse than ever before. Almost 17 million Syrians are in need of humanitarian support. That is equivalent to more than two thirds of the population. Syria is experiencing one of the worst refugee crises in the world.

In 2024, Sweden contributed SEK 257 million in humanitarian assistance to alleviate the suffering in Syria, which is in addition to the substantial core support provided to humanitarian actors operating there. The country is now in a critical situation.

Sweden is providing an additional SEK 120 million in humanitarian support to Syria. This support is distributed between the UNHCR, UNDP AND ICRC. Sweden’s support package is intended to meet the most acute humanitarian needs of people who have been forced to flee internally, improve access to health and medical care and clean water, and facilitate a voluntary, safe and dignified repatriation of Syrian refugees to their homes when possible.

Since the start of the conflict in 2011, Sweden has contributed more than SEK 4.7 billion in humanitarian assistance to Syria, making it one of the largest donors.

All roads lead to Qatar! It was a privilege to meet H.E. Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulla bin Mohammed Al Thani, Qatar’s Minister of Transport, and his team. 🌍✨

Accompanied by Country Manager for Ericsson, Mr. Charbel Abdallah, we had an engaging meeting, discussing Sweden’s capabilities in maritime, land, and air transport with a focus on high-tech solutions and sustainability. 🌱

As Qatar and Sweden recently signed an MOU in the field of transport, there are ample opportunities for collaboration in innovative and future-ready solutions.

Excited about the journey ahead! 🚢🚆✈️🚌

📍Åre

Today we give you Sweden’s latest international smash hit of crime fiction – The Åre Murders, ’Åremorden’.

🕵️‍♀️ Since its premiere in February, the series based on author Viveca Sten’s crime novels has topped the viewing charts for non-English series on Netflix across several countries.

🔎 Main protagonist? Police officer Hanna Ahlander, who, after being both suspended from her job in Stockholm and abandoned by her partner, seeks refuge in her sister’s holiday home in Åre, northwest Sweden.

When a young woman vanishes on a freezing night, Hanna can’t help but get involved in the investigation. With a difficult family situation and an understaffed police force, local officer Daniel Lindskog reluctantly accepts Hanna’s help.

❗️ Fun fact: The series has sparked a discussion on social media about the fact that entry doors in Sweden open outwards. This is due to Swedish building standards designed to facilitate emergency evacuation.

Have you watched the show yet? Or do you have another favourite Swedish crime series that is binge-worthy?

On this year’s International Women’s Day, we highlight four Swedish words that relate to equality in Swedish society:

Riksdagskvinna – Women’s participation in politics strengthens democracy. In Sweden, nearly 50% of parliament members are women, ensuring diverse voices in decision-making.

Glastaket – Breaking the glass ceiling for female leadership is crucial for progress. Sweden works to remove career barriers through policies and mentorship, promoting equal opportunities in the workplace.

Samtycke – Since 2018, in Sweden, consent must always be explicit and voluntary.

Föräldraförsäkring – Parental leave and economic equality go hand in hand. Sweden introduced gender-neutral parental leave in 1974, allowing both parents to share responsibilities at home and in their careers.

Equality is not just a goal—it’s a continuous effort. On International Women’s Day and every day, we stand for a more inclusive and equal world.

May this month bring peace, joy, and blessings to you and your loved ones. 🌿☕❄️

THIS IS SWEDEN! 🇸🇪

Every February, Swedish schools go on ”sportlov”— a winter sports break that has been a tradition since 1940, encouraging families to embrace the outdoors.

Sweden is home to over 200 ski resorts, with around 2 million Swedes hitting the slopes each season? Many take this opportunity to head to the mountains - a prime destination for skiing, snowboarding, ice skating and cozy cabin getaways.🔥⛷️🌲

Whether it’s skiing, skating, sledding, or simply taking in the snowy landscapes, sportlov is all about embracing the Nordic winter spirit and making the most of Sweden’s long winters! ❄️

And cold temperatures or bad weather is no excuse as we also have a saying in Sweden: ”there’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing”. 😅

United we stand, divided we fall! We attended the 5th annual conference of the Strategic Studies Unit @arabcenter_ar for Research & Policy Studies. This year’s topic was ”Defence Strategies of Small States and Smaller Forces – Tactical Adaptations and Operational Innovations.”

Representing Sweden 🇸🇪, Dr Mikael Weissmann from the Swedish Defence University joined experts from our neighbours and close allies in the Baltic countries🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹, sharing his insights on “Sweden’s Alliance and Defence Transformations: Strategic Shifts in the Wake of Russia’s 2022 Invasion of Ukraine.” The discussion highlighted how small states have adapted to the evolving security landscape and the key strategies shaping defence policy in Sweden and the Baltics.

Sweden is shouldering its burden by bolstering both national and regional defence capabilities, strengthening collaboration with allies and likeminded peaceful countries like Qatar 🇶🇦 thereby ensuring resilience and deterrence against aggressive hostile powers. 🌍🤝

With great honour and pride, the Embassy of Sweden in Qatar had the privilege of welcoming Her Majesty Queen Silvia of Sweden, in her capacity as the President of Mentor International Foundation, to Doha. This momentous visit, the first of any Swedish royal to Qatar, reaffirmed Her Majesty’s unwavering commitment to social impact, cultural exchange and youth empowerment through @mentorarabia.

Along with H.H. @mozabintnasser, Chairperson of Education Above All, and Chairman of Mentor Arabia, Prince Turki bin Talal Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Queen Silvia attended a grand charity gala, aimed at raising funds for supporting life-changing programs for young people, worldwide.

During her stay, the Queen also graced with her presence a prestigious youth song and film award ceremony with @mentorarabia at the iconic @miaqatar, and met the Swedish youth in Doha.

THIS IS SWEDEN!🇸🇪
📍Jukkasjärvi

Have you ever heard of this Swedish hotel made of ice? ❄️

In the Swedish village of Jukkasjärvi, 200 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle, a hotel is built from snow and ice every year. 🧊 The building materials come from nearby Torne River: 2,500 ice blocks weighing 2 tonnes each.

Icehotel is a unique structure where graphic designers, architects, industrial engineers and artists from around the world create individually designed rooms, making each stay a one-of-a-kind experience.

💧 While this part of the hotel melts and runs back into the river every spring, there is another part that remains open year-round. Solar panels enable the ice in the permanent part of Icehotel to stay frozen.
