YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 5, ARMENPRESS. Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Billstrom said on Wednesday he will step down next week after almost two years in office.

The 50-year-old, who became foreign minister in October 2022, said he would leave politics.
He did not mention the reason of his unexpected resignation.
