The King received Ambassador Shigeyuki Hiroki in Princess Sibylla's Apartments at the Royal Palace ahead of his departure from Sweden.
Just as an ambassador is received by The King on assuming his or her position in Sweden at a formal audience, a similar – albeit somewhat less formal – meeting is also held when the ambassador returns home again.
