Nice to see that the court published so many photos of the meeting of the Advisory Council on Foreign Affairs. A pity that it was arranged when Victoria was in Australia.

Later today the King met Erik Thedéen, Governor of Sveriges riksbank, the central bank of Sweden. He started at his office on 1st January.

The King's speech, he said among other things:
This year I have been a King and Sweden's head of state for 50 years. But I have been a scout even longer, for almost 70 years. That's how the idea of a value-based leadership arose - that the values that you were brought up in as a scout follow you into other and bigger tasks when you become an adult.
