Love is love – today and every day ❤️
Valentine’s Day is a reminder that love, in all its forms, deserves to be seen, respected, and celebrated.

Sweden stands for the equal worth of all and for the right to love whomever one chooses. To express love is a human right.

Looking for a “connection” to get a Swedish visa?🙄

The only connection you should trust is your internet connection and our official site: swedenabroad.se/en/about-swe...

⚠️The Embassy of Sweden in Nigeria does NOT use agents and no one can guarantee a visa for money.

🌍 Today marks @unicef.org World Children’s Day.

Every child has the right to identity, to family, and to grow up in safety. These rights are enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989).

Let us stand together to protect and uphold these rights.

In 2024, Sweden contributed over SEK 5.1 billion to global health, with nearly SEK 2.7 billion directed to sexual and reproductive health and rights.

Despite global challenges, Sweden continues to priorities equitable health for all.

Sweden invests where it matters most.
