The focus of the Consulate, expected to open in the middle of next year, will be on Sweden promotion activities. The Consulate-General will have a significant role in developing a network of contacts with representatives of India’s business sector and institutions, he said.

Contacts between Sweden and India have increased and widened considerably in recent years. This applies at a political level, within the business sector, and among researchers and students, he said.
