Sweden’s Royal Couple to Begin Jordan Visit
Sweden’s King Carl Gustav and Queen Silvia will arrive in Jordan today for a six-day state visit expected to improve already warm relations.
“We view Sweden as a country with special importance in the European bloc,” Information Minister Nasuh Majali said Sunday. “Amman looks for firmer ties and for new openings in bilateral relations.”
The king and queen will be guests of King Hussein and Queen Noor, who visited Sweden in 1984. An accompanying official delegation will include Foreign Minister Sten Sture Andersson, now in Egypt discussing Mideast peace plans.
