Under the “Made With Sweden” banner, Sweden sought to reaffirm that it remains internationally oriented, open, and deeply committed to global partnerships.
Swedish Ambassador, Alexandra Berg von Linde, described the Pakistan-Sweden relationship as built on mutual trust and innovation, where Swedish expertise combines with local knowledge to create lasting impact.
Rather than simply exporting finished goods, she said, Swedish companies were manufacturing and innovating within Pakistan itself, collaborating with local partners to produce world-class results.
