Swedish envoy lauds Jordan

"Jordan is likely to remember 6th June, 2020, as the day when the Covid-19 lockdown was lifted, and many sectors sprung back to life. Incidentally, 6th June is also the National Day of Sweden," he said in a statement to Petra marking Sweden's national day.
"As Ambassador of Sweden to Jordan, I am encouraged by the many initiatives in both our countries to give people hope and joy in these times," he said, adding that he was impressed by Jordan's resolve in dealing with the coronavirus and moving swiftly and resolutely to stem the spread of the pandemic.
