Leading Swedish industry figures have urged the government to uphold the country’s cooperation with Saudi Arabia. UPDATE: Swedish Radio News has discovered a secret letter behind the article published in Friday's Dagens Nyheter.

The industry figures claimed that there are many areas where Swedish companies contribute to development in Saudi Arabia and that trade provides important opportunities to promote human rights and democracy.
التعاون بمجال الدفاع ليس الوحيد بين البلدين وإنما تتعاون الشركات السويدية بعدة مجالات مع المملكة العربية السعودية ممايساهم بتعزيز التنمية وحقوق الإنسان والديمقراطية
Further, they argued that Sweden relies on international exports in order to maintain its generous welfare system. “Saudi Arabia is Sweden’s eighteenth largest export nation and the fourth largest outside Europe. It is our single-

However, the article authors did not address the controversial military elements of Sweden’s partnership with Saudi Arabia, which is currently hotly debated in Sweden. All parliament parties apart from the Social Democrats and the Moderates have said they want the arms deal to be scrapped and that they do not want it to be renegotiated. However, there are also vocal critics within the Social Democrat Party who argue that Sweden should not sell weapons to a country they consider to be an absolute dictatorship.
