The government states in a press release that today they appointed the county governor of Kalmar County, Peter Sandwall, as State Secretary at the Ministry of Defence. This means that Peter Sandwall will leave his position as county governor of Kalmar County.

– Peter Sandwall has extensive and solid experience in public administration. In addition to his role as county governor, he has worked within the Government Offices and as Director General for the Swedish Armed Forces. His experiences will be a great asset for the government, particularly in the work with the rapid and substantial growth that the defence is currently experiencing, says Minister for Civil Affairs Erik Slottner.

Peter Sandwall will assume his position on 3 November 2022.
