Our work covers a range of issues including political and economics.

We continue to work closely with Sweden to take forward our shared foreign policy interests around the world. We work to help UK companies export to Sweden and encouraging Swedes to invest in the UK.

Getting help

If you cannot get the support you need from local services, the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) can help British people abroad.

We prioritise emergencies and people who are vulnerable, for example, if someone’s:
- ill, injured, or involved in a crime
- with a British person who’s died
