Ulf Yalma Christson, Prime Minister of Sweden and Chairman of the Moderate United Party, released the list of members of the new government and delivered a policy address on the 18th. This government is a minority government composed of the moderate coalition party of the center right wing, the Christian Democratic Party and the Liberal Party. The ruling coalition and the far right Swedish Democratic Party signed a cooperation agreement covering seven governance areas in exchange for the party's support and to ensure its second largest party's influence. The Swedish Democratic Party will send commissioners to the new government to carry out various cooperation with the government. According to the list of government composition released by Christson, the current government has 24 ministerial posts, including Eba Busch, the chairman of the Christian Democratic Party, as the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy and Economy, John Persson, the chairman of the Liberal Party, as the Minister of Labour Market and Integration, and Tobias Bilstrom, a member of the moderate coalition party, as the Foreign Minister. Christson said in his policy address that the new government must make rapid response in fighting crime, promoting economic growth, ensuring the security of energy supply and joining NATO in the face of such problems as the record number of gunshot deaths, the downturn in the economy, the emerging energy crisis and the worrying regional security situation. Sweden held parliamentary elections on September 11. According to the final counting results released by the Swedish Election Commission, the right-wing opposition party camp composed of the Moderate United Party, the Swedish Democratic Party, the Liberal Party and the Christian Democratic Party won a total of 176 seats, winning the general election by a narrow margin. The centre left Social Democratic Party, the Swedish Democratic Party and the Moderate United Party became the top three political parties in parliament with 107, 73 and 68 seats respectively. Christson was elected Swedish Prime Minister in a parliamentary vote on the 17th. (Liu Xinshe)
