"We will defend the rights of man, we have already done and we will do so again in the future"
Why Saudi Arabia she just recalled its ambassador to Sweden? Because the bad blood between the two countries since the Swedish foreign minister criticized the human rights in the kingdom. It is whipping the convicted blogger for "insulting Islam" who reacted Margot Wallström, she complained in early March of "medieval methods."
Furious, Saudi Arabia initially prevented Margot Wallström to deliver his speech at a meeting of the Arab League in Cairo.
But Sweden supports his minister, explains the head of government, Stefan Löfven: "We will defend the rights of man, we have already done and we will do so again in the future. But we want to stress that we appreciate to have good relations with Saudi Arabia and to develop others. Now, having considered various alternatives, we have made a decision, it is right. "
Responding to the Saudi anger, Stockholm announced not to renew its military cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia in 2005.
