The visit underscores the close friendship between Estonia and Sweden, all the more so given that it is taking place during the 50th anniversary of King Carl XVI Gustaf’s accession to the throne. The State Visit will focus on a number of topics: boosting security and defence cooperation; further enhancing economic ties; green and digital transition opportunities; and cooperation in the fields of energy, research and innovation.
Their Majesties The King and Queen of Sweden will be accompanied on the visit by members of the Swedish government and representatives of major Swedish corporations so as to discuss ways of boosting business ties between Estonia and Sweden and expanding economic cooperation.
King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden previously made State Visits to Estonia in April 1992 and May 2002. Moreover, Queen Silvia attended the 375th anniversary festivities of the University of Tartu in October 2007. Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel also visited Estonia in 2014 and 2018.
