Hari ini, 6 Juni, Swedia merayakan Hari Nasional: Sveriges nationaldag! Walaupun telah berdiri sejak ratusan tahun yang lalu, Swedia baru menetapkan tanggal Hari Nasional di tahun 1983. Tanggal 6 Juni ditetapkan sebagai Hari Nasional Swedia bertepatan dengan hari koronasi Raja Gustav Vasa pada 1523, dan kemudian pada 1809 Swedia menetapkan konstitusi yang baru di tanggal yang sama. Untuk merayakan Hari Nasional Swedia, kami ingin mengundang para seniman dan desainer di Indonesia untuk merancang desain batik yang unik dan kreatif. Indonesia dan Swedia akan merayakan hubungan bilateral yang ke-75 tahun depan. Karena itu, kami ingin memiliki desain batik yang dapat mencerminkan hubungan kedua negara kita 🇮🇩🇸🇪 Tunggu informasi lebih lanjut mengenai batik Swedia-Indonesia yang akan dibuka bulan depan.

Last week we hosted an event at the Ambassador’s residence to highlight gender equality as a driver for economic growth. Together with NordCham Indonesia, the Nordic Chamber of Commerce in Indonesia, we also invited valuable speakers to also talk about Indonesia’s current and future economic outlook. Our speakers were: Daniel Blockert, Ambassador of Sweden to Indonesia, Timor-Leste and ASEAN; Satu Kahkonen, Country Director for Indonesia and Timor-Leste, ⁠World Bank; and Shinta Kamdani, ⁠Coordinating Vice Chairman III, Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin), and CEO, Sintesa Group. “If you don't give people the framework and opportunities, gender equality is not something that would come magically. One thing that, especially the World Bank has shown, is that it’s just a really bad economic policy to have half of a population not having the same economic opportunities.” – Ambassador Daniel Blockert Our expert speakers provided an in-depth analysis of Indonesia's current economic landscape, discussing challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in the context of national and global trends. The event ended with a productive discussion between our guests and the speakers about relevant issues. Sweden believes that gender equality is not only a moral obligation but also a significant contributor to societal and economic wellbeing. #genderequality #Sweden #Indonesia #economicgrowth Toto Suharto
