SWEDEN, March 17 - Minister for Foreign Affairs Maria Malmer Stenergard is travelling to India on 17–18 March to take part in the Raisina Dialogue, a conference on security policy. During her visit to New Delhi, Ms Malmer Stenergard will also participate in a Swedish-Indian business meeting hosted by India’s Minister of Commerce and Industry.
Ms Malmer Stenergard will be joined by CEO of Business Sweden Jan Larsson in an inauguration ceremony to launch a new trading office in India.
“India is a key partner country for Sweden. In the current geopolitical situation, cooperation is more important than ever.

This will pave the way for more trade and investment, which will create growth and jobs,” says Ms Malmer Stenergard.
Taking place annually in India since 2016, the Raisina Dialogue is a prominent international platform for discussion on geopolitics and geoeconomic challenges. Foreign and defence ministers from many countries are participating in the dialogue.
