India attaches great importance to her friendly and co-operative relations with Kingdom of Sweden. I am happy to note that the relations between our two countries, underpinned by our common and unwavering commitment to democratic values, continue to strengthen to our mutual satisfaction.
I recall the warm reception and gracious hospitality extended to me by Your Majesty and Her Majesty Queen Silvia during my State Visit to Sweden in 2015.
