In a significant reshuffle, Sweden's Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson has announced new ministerial appointments.

Maria Malmer Stenergard, previously the migration minister, has been appointed as the new foreign minister, succeeding Tobias Billström.

This move is part of a broader cabinet reshuffle that includes Jessica Rosencrantz becoming the EU minister and Johan Forssell taking over as the migration minister.

Benjamin Dousa, former CEO of Företagarna, steps in as the aid and foreign trade minister.

The reshuffle aims to strengthen the government's effectiveness, with Kristersson emphasizing the need for a high-paced, results-driven administration.

The changes also reflect a commitment to maintaining momentum on key issues like migration and support for Ukraine.
