A new foreign minister has been appointed in Sweden following a surprise resignation last week. Maria Malmer Stenegard, 43, has been named as the new foreign minister, taking over from Tobias Billström who resigned on September 4. Malmer Stenegard previously served as the migration minister.
Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson also made additional changes to his center-right government in a Cabinet reshuffle. Johan Forssell, the former development minister, will now assume the role of migration minister, while Benjamin Dousa has been appointed as the new development minister.
