Sweden’s Defence Commission to hand in final report on Friday
- After roughly one and half years of work, the Defence Commission will tomorrow hand over its final report, coming as it does following Sweden’s NATO accession.
- One of the most important issues will be how the Armed Forces should adapt now that Sweden’s joined the defence alliance.
- The commission is made up of members of all of Sweden’s parliamentary parties. Hans Wallmark of the Moderate Party is the commission’s chair, and says the report will also look at expectations of Sweden as a reliable ally.
