SWEDEN’S Embassy announced the recent arrival of its ambassador to the Philippines.
In a statement, Ambassador Annika Thunborg looks forward to working with Filipino partners in further advancing the relations of her country, and that of her assignment.
“I am very pleased to have arrived in Manila, and look very much forward to working in the Philippines in the years to come,” she said. “I will continue to promote closer and stronger bilateral relations between our two nations—including in the areas of exports and investments, sustainable solutions and innovation, and values such as human rights, gender equality, and the rule of law.”
Thunborg previously served as Sweden’s ambassador to Mexico, and had worked with multilateral issues in Geneva, Vienna and New York where the diplomat forged close ties with colleagues from the Philippines.
She is Sweden’s second envoy to be assigned in the country since its embassy reopened in Manila in 2016. She will be taking over from Ambassador Harald Fries.
