1. (SBU) PM Reinfeldt's foreign policy advisor, State
Secretary Gustav Lind, told Charge January 20 that he would
be Sweden's sherpa for the July G-8 Summit in Italy. Lind
explained that Reinfeldt would represent the EU Presidency,
as one of the three EU leaders at the Summit (EC President
Barroso and EU Council Representative Solana are the other
two).

2.(SBU) The EU would likely have two seats at the G-20 summit
in London in April, with the Czech Presidency having the main
seat. The Czechs may invite Sweden to have the other seat,
per Lind.
