– Equality between men and women is a core value for both Sweden and this government, but no, we will not pursue a feminist foreign policy, says Tobias Billström to Aftonbladet.
According to the new minister, the label feminist, which was used by the Social Democrats' female foreign ministers, “did not serve any further good purpose” and “obscured above all the fact that Swedish foreign policy must be based on the question what are Swedish values and Swedish interests”.
Tobias Billström – who was Fredrik Reinfeldt's migration minister – says that in future foreign policy he will focus more on collaboration with the countries in the Nordics, the Baltics and Europe.
