The 12-member-delegation will visit from Sunday to Thursday, according to MOFA spokeswoman Joanne Ou (???), and will be jointly led by Boriana Åberg, head of the Swedish-Taiwanese Parliamentarian friendship group, and Charlie Weimers, a member of the European Parliament.
Other members of the delegation include Kerstin Lundgren, deputy speaker of the Swedish Parliament, and Swedish parliamentarians Björn Söder, Lars Adaktusson, Markus Wiechel, Åsa Coenraads, Ann-Sofie Alm, Lars Püss, and Alexander Christiansson, Ou said.
During their stay in Taipei, the delegation will meet with President Tsai Ing-wen (???), Premier Su Tseng-chang (???), Legislative speaker You Si-kun (???), Foreign Minister Joseph Wu (???) and other senior government officials.
The delegation will also hold a seminar with a local defense security think tank, and meet Swedish business and student representatives, as well as other expatriates in Taiwan, Ou said.
