Swedish delegation in Israel

Israel, Jan 13: A Swedish delegation has arrived in the country earlier this week to learn from Israel’s experience in dealing with security challenges. Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallström on Tuesday called for an investigaton into what she referred to as Israel’s “extrajudicial killings” of terrorists who carry out attacks.
The delegation of former senior experts in Sweden’s defense establishment along with former executives in the private sector (for example, the CEO of Ericsson) arrived in Israel on Sunday. It was sent by the Royal Swedish Academy of War Sciences, an independent body that advises the king of Sweden and the Swedish government.
The Royal Swedish Academy seeks to prepare Sweden for future security challenges and catastrophes, and chose to visit Israel given its positive impression of the methods Israel has developed to deal with both current and future challenges.
The delegation, as well as other representatives from the Swedish business sector, come to Israel to develop professiol relationships regardless of the Swedish government’s policy on Israel. Automaker Volvo, for example, invited Israeli companies to Sweden a few months ago following a successful visit to Israel. (IANS)
