Great news! I am proud that NATO has chosen the Swedish platform GlobalEye as the Alliance’s new platform for airborne early warning and control. GlobalEye will contribute greatly to core needs for our collective defense. Great for NATO and great day for Swedish jobs 🤝

I spoke with the @SwedishPM. I am grateful to Ulf for his support and for his clear position on Russia’s war against Ukraine, against our people. The key issue is, naturally, air defense. We now see that the Russians are putting their eggs in the basket of ballistic missile

Thank you for a great call, @MarkJCarney. Sweden and Canada’s partnership continues to expand rapidly. Our defense cooperation, including Canada’s procurement of GlobalEye, strengthens our joint security, while benefiting industries and creating jobs in both Sweden and Canada. I

Trade between Canada and Sweden has more than doubled in the past five years. This year we entered into negotiations to procure GlobalEye, Saab’s Airborne Early Warning and Control aircraft platform — and build it right here in Canada. This morning, Prime Minister Kristersson

Sweden has signed a sales contract with Ukraine for 16 Gripen E fighter aircraft, and FMV has signed the enabling contract with Saab. This is a major step for Ukraine’s freedom and Europe’s security. Gripen will strengthen Ukraine’s ability to defend its skies. (1/4)

Great to be back in Poland again – twice in less than a week. This time with one of the largest Swedish ministerial delegations on a foreign visit in a long time, and for good reason. Relations between Poland and Sweden are the best in living memory. We are NATO allies,

Två gånger samma dag gick den svenska incidentberedskapen upp med JAS 39 Gripen för att möta ryskt stridsflyg nära svenskt luftrum. Det återkommande ryska agerandet över Östersjön är allvarligt. Flygvapnets snabba insats visar varför beredskap krävs varje dag. Den här gången
