Minister for Foreign Affairs Maria Malmer Stenergard will visit Asmara, Eritrea, on 17-18 December 2025. The purpose of the visit is to engage in dialogue on regional and bilateral issues with representatives of the Eritrean government.
- During my visit, we will discuss regional issues, such as the war in Eritrea's neighboring country Sudan and issues that are significant for the relations between our countries, says Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard.
This is the first visit to Eritrea from a Swedish government representative since Sweden recognized Eritrea as a state in 1993.
