What else is happening in Sweden?

Risk of traffic congestion in Stockholm this fall : Most maintenance work and construction on Stockholm's roads are carried out during the summer when there are fewer cars and less heavy traffic, but some projects will spill over into the fall, causing potential traffic disruptions. The major impacted areas include the E4, Stockholm Bypass, and various interchanges. Motorists are advised to check for updates on trafiken.nu or SL.se and exercise patience and caution while driving. In the meantime, the Roslagsbanan train in Stockholm will resume regular timetables after operating with reduced traffic during the summer. The increased frequency of trains and reintroduction of express trains during certain hours aim to alleviate congestion and seating issues during rush hour. Commuters can expect a more regular and efficient train service starting from August 21st.

The visit also provides an opportunity to discuss further military cooperation, such as the expansion of equipment production and soldier training between Sweden and Ukraine.
