In an exclusive conversation, the Ambassador of India to Sweden, Anurag Bhushan, underscores the profound depth of these ties, highlighting how initiatives like ‘Make in India’ have strengthened industrial trust and paved the way for long-term strategic cooperation. He says, “India and Sweden’s strategic partnership is deeply anchored in common democratic values and a long-standing tradition of diplomatic neutrality, principles that have fostered extensive collaboration in the defense sector. This sharing of resources and high-end technology is a legacy spanning decades, now evolving from a traditional buyer-seller dynamic into deep industrial integration and “technological sovereignty.”
