"The Prime Minister has been invited to participate in a questioning during the opening of the conference on Thursday evening. The conversation will focus on Sweden's and the EU's competitiveness as well as Sweden's support for Ukraine", writes Kristersson's deputy press secretary Hanna Strömberg to TT.

The meeting has been preceded by great secrecy. The prestigious hotel is fully booked for several days and the police have been informed.
