His Excellency Magnus Robach, Ambassador of Kingdom of Sweden continued to report on the active exchange between Japan and Sweden. His Excellency and two more Ambassadors from Iceland and Finland took part in the LGBT Parade called "Raimbow Parade."

Have you ever read the story of " Pippi Longstocking" written by Ms. Astrid Lindgren in Sweden. I did not know that the story was written by the  Swede author. I think I read the story when I was in grade school.

So many events to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of Japan-Sweden relationship were held, including "The Seafood Business Meeting for Ocean Steward". Seafood businesses in Japan, Norway, Korea, Taiwan and Sweden took part in the meeting, Ambassador said.
In Hokkaido, the Swedish Center Foundation celebrated its 35th Anniversary this year too.
