An Insightful Discussion with Pål Jonson: Chairman of the Riksdag's Defense Committee

On Wednesday, May 18th, Sweden and Finland simultaneously handed in their official letters of application to join NATO. 

The applications were received by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at the Alliance’s Brussels headquarters. Mr. Stoltenberg warmly welcomed the requests, saying, "this is a good day, at a critical moment for our security.”

This is a historic step for Sweden, and to help explain the implications for the country, we are pleased to have Pål Jonson, Chairman of the Riksdag's Defense Committee on hand to address members of the AmCham Sweden network.

The program will be held in the offices of Prime Weber Shandwick, located at Slussplan 9, Stockholm.
