Bilateral Relations
Bilateral relations between Greece and Sweden are excellent and are largely determined by the participation of both countries in the EU and NATO, as well as by their cooperation within the framework of international organisations (UN, OSCE, Council of Europe).
The Greek language is taught in 4 Greek Language Departments integrated in schools. The Chair of Modern Greek Studies at Lund University is the only remaining Department of Modern Greek Studies in Scandinavia with a full curriculum. The Hellenic Cultural Centre Foundation has also been operating since 1980, with the aim of promoting Greek culture and cultural cooperation between the two countries.
The Swedish Institute in Athens is active in the fields of archaeology and culture. In Sweden, a National Committee for the Return of the Parthenon Sculptures has been established since 2003. The Greek Community numbers about 35,000 members throughout Sweden (mainly Stockholm and Göteborg).Click here for information regarding the visa requirements for Greek citizens who want to travel to Sweden.
