The Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been headed by Maria Malmer Stenergard, who was previously the Minister of Migration, after the resignation of Tobias Billström.
TT writes about this.
The reshuffle in the Swedish government became known during a parliamentary session on Tuesday, September 10.
A representative of the Moderate Coalition Party and a fellow party member of Billström, Stenergard has headed the Ministry of Migration since 2022, and before that she worked in parliament for eight years.
In addition to the Foreign Ministry, the Ministry of EU Affairs has a new head, whose previous head Jessica Roswall was nominated for a European Commissioner — she will be replaced by Jessica Rosenkranz.
And the new Swedish Minister for Migration will be Johan Forssell, who until now headed the Ministry for Cooperation and Foreign Trade. The heads of the Ministries of Education and Labor and Integration have also changed.
Tobias Billström unexpectedly announced his resignation as Swedish Foreign Minister in early September.
The media wrote that the reason could be a conflict between Billström and Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, but he himself denies this.
