Mutual praise was exchanged when Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) met NATO's new Secretary-General Mark Rutte in Brussels on Wednesday.
Counted per capita, Sweden is a top supporter of Ukraine, Rutte stated at the press conference afterwards.
He is an incredibly principled, value-based person. He is also pragmatic and solution-oriented and gets countries with different starting points to find compromises. I appreciate that, says Kristersson about Rutte at a brief press conference with TT, SR Ekot, and TV4.
At the press conference, he also takes the opportunity to boast about Sweden's capabilities.
I dare say that there are no other countries with ten million inhabitants that can manufacture advanced fighter jets, submarines, and combat vehicles like we do, says Kristersson in Brussels.
