Foreign Policy

Sweden's foreign policy has been redefined by NATO accession while retaining its strong commitment to multilateralism, development aid, and human rights. Sweden consistently ranks among the top per-capita aid donors and has been a leading advocate for feminist foreign policy (formally adopted in 2014, though the label was later dropped).

Key priorities include strengthening European security through NATO and EU cooperation, supporting Ukraine, maintaining high development aid standards, promoting gender equality and human rights globally, and engaging in Arctic governance. Sweden's defense industry (Saab, Gripen fighter jets) gives it strategic weight within NATO.
