The Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Sweden Mr Carl Bildt, who is in Singapore to attend the 12th International Institute for Strategic Studies Asia Security Summit (Shangri-La Dialogue 2013), called on Minister for Foreign Affairs and Minister for Law Mr K Shanmugam on 1 June 2013.

Minister Shanmugam and Minister Bildt reaffirmed the warm relationship between Singapore and Sweden, which is underpinned by excellent cooperation in the political, economic and defence sectors.  Minister Shanmugam thanked Minister Bildt for Sweden's strong support for Singapore's successful application for observer status in the Arctic Council.  Both Ministers looked forward to the smooth approval and ratification of the EU-Singapore Free Trade Agreement (EUSFTA), which will further enhance the robust economic linkages between Singapore, Sweden and Europe.  They also exchanged views on developments in the Middle East, Asia and Europe.
