The Swedish Prime Minister wants to reduce immigration and improve integration, he said in an interview with the Swedish channel ‘TV4’. Kristersson visited Denmark on Tuesday.
Danish Social Democratic Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen stated during a press conference with her Swedish counterpart that she was satisfied that her country “serves as an inspiration for other countries after 20 years of strict migration policies”.
Among other things, the two heads of government exchanged views on how to return refused asylum seekers.
According to official figures, 18,700 people applied for asylum in Sweden last year, compared to 4,600 in Denmark.
Kristersson built a right-wing three-party government in Sweden last year. He governs with the support of the radical right-wing Sweden Democrats.
