Veteran policy to ”play important role”

Swedish parliament and government should acknowledge veterans experiences and start a bottom-up approach to improve their situation, MP Allan Widman said addressing the Peace and Security Summit in Stockholm on Thursday.

Mr Widman also said that veterans should play a major role in defending peace and security. He gave one example.

-  Sweden, as many countries, lack a national medal of appreciation for veterans having served in wars in order to maintain peace, Mr Widman said.

The Peace and Security Summit is run by The World Veterans Federation, organizing 42 million veterans of war in 93 countries.
