The meeting was originally scheduled for Saturday but has now been brought forward and will instead take place on Friday afternoon. A press conference will be held afterward at 4:15 p.m.
Ulf Kristersson has previously announced that the meeting is taking place "to gather us after recent travels and shuttle diplomacy and to synchronize our views on the major security issues."
The council meets regularly, but extraordinary meetings are rarer. For example, such meetings have been held because of the war in Ukraine, and all party leaders have also been invited to discuss gang crime.
In addition to the Prime Minister, who chairs the meeting, a number of ministers and the National Security Advisor are participating.
