(Det talade ordet gäller)

Friends of Japan and Sweden,

I am delighted to welcome you to our pavilion and to this reception celebrating Sweden's day at the Expo 2025.

It has been an inspiring day, filled with activities and meetings focused on building a more sustainable and promising tomorrow.

Once again, it is clear how much both Japan and Sweden gain from working together. By sharing a common vision for a better world, we not only strengthen each other, but also foster greater creativity and innovation.

In a world facing uncertainty and complex challenges, I am confident that Japan and Sweden can lead the way through our strong, forward-looking partnership.

I want to thank all of you who have participated today and all of you who, every day, contribute to our ongoing collaboration for a brighter future.

So let us raise a glass: to the continued success of our partnership, to the innovative solutions we create together, and to the positive and lasting impact we will make.

Skål – or as you say: Kanpai!
