King reminds MPs they represent 'all of Sweden', including immigrants

King Carl XVI Gustaf reminded MPs that it is their duty to represent all of Sweden, including immigrants and young people, as he reopened the country's parliament on Tuesday.

"Our country has over 10 million residents with varying backgrounds and experiences, and different dreams for the future. Around a fifth are children and young people. Almost as many were born in another country and immigrated here. Together, all of these individuals form Sweden. It is them who you represent in the Riksdag's chamber. You are the foremost representatives of the people," the Swedish monarch said in his traditional speech at the opening of the new Riksdag session.
