Press release from Ministry for Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Justice
Official visit to Türkiye cancelled
Published
Due to technical issues with Sweden’s state aircraft, Minister for Foreign Affairs Maria Malmer Stenergard and Minister for Justice Gunnar Strömmer were unfortunately re-directed back to Stockholm, Arlanda. This was purely a safety measure and neither passengers nor crew were in danger.
The ministers were looking forward to meeting their counterparts in Ankara to discuss several issues of importance, such as the fight against terrorism and organised crime. A new date for this meeting will be set in the near future, in dialogue with the Swedish ministers’ counterparts.
For further information or questions, please contact press secretaries.
