Szymanowski, Antoni

The ambassador in Sweden reports on a conversation with Unden, the Swedish Minister for Foreign Affairs. Sweden has some interest in the Plan in its new form, but not directly. Unden is worried about the FRG posing as an obstacle to the Plan.

The ambassador in Sweden recounts his conversation with Astrom, director of the political department of the Swedish MoFA. Astrom mentions his desire to prevent the Plan from becoming overwhelmed amidst the Germany debate, along with his desire that negotiations do not take place with the Soviets.

Szymanowski presents the Swedish position on the Rapacki Plan, which is in support of further discussion with the great powers. He also discusses Swedish foreign policy on the German question, nuclear weapons development, and Swedish domestic politics.
