Today, on what would have been Dag Hammarskjöld's birthday, we honor the Swedish diplomat whose vision and leadership helped shape modern international cooperation. His legacy reminds us that dialogue, peace, and multilateralism remain as important today as ever. #DagHammarskjold #Sweden

Globally, nearly 300 million people needed humanitarian assistance in 2025, yet only 98 million received support. When millions face hunger, displacement, and insecurity, solidarity matters. Sweden is stepping up, providing SEK 99 million for Nigeria in 2026. #SwedenInNigeria #LeaveNoOneBehind

Men are powerful agents of change in the fight against gender-based violence and harmful gender stereotypes. Together with our partners at Asviol, we visited a mai shayi spot in Abuja to witness firsthand how these spaces continue to foster conversations on preventing #SGBV. #SwedenInNigeria

UN🇺🇳 International Day of Yoga: I’m reminded that progress isn’t always about pushing hard. Yoga has taught me balance, focus, resilience & patience. Some of life’s best lessons come from losing balance, getting back up & moving on with humility & humour. Namaste नमस्ते🙏 #IDY2026 #InternationalDayOfYoga

12 years ago, the world had just passed 50 million forcibly displaced people. Today, the number exceeds 117 million. Nigeria alone accounts for around 3-3.5%. Behind every statistics is a person. The numbers have changed dramatically. Our responsibility has not. #WorldRefugeeDay #UntilEveryoneIsSafe
