As thanks for the help in getting Sweden into NATO, ten foreign citizens will each receive a knighthood in Sweden, including former NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Finland’s former Prime Minister Sanna Marin and Finland’s former Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto are among the other recipients of knighthoods, writes NTB. – The awards are an expression of our great gratitude for these people’s efforts in connection with Sweden’s membership in NATO, says Sweden’s Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson in a press release. – I would also like to extend a special thank you to Finland’s former president Sauli Niinistö, who has already received the Serfimer Order, adds Kristersson. The ten recipients receive the Royal Order of the Nordstjärne.
