Sweden has formally requested China's cooperation in investigating the recent rupture of two data cables on the Baltic Sea bed. The cables, one connecting Finland to Germany and the other Lithuania to Sweden, were damaged in Swedish waters where a China-flagged vessel, Yi Peng 3, was sighted. The vessel is currently moored in international waters between Sweden and Denmark.
Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson stated that Sweden desires the vessel to move to Swedish waters for inspection as part of the ongoing international investigation. Sweden has reached out to China to collaborate with Swedish authorities to clarify the incident.
