Today, we just signed the definitive contract for three Swedish A26 submarines for Poland. This is a historic milestone for both Poland and Sweden. It is a very large and long-term deal. It is worth approximately 50 billion Swedish kronor, and will help make the Polish Navy one of the strongest in all of NATO. A strong Polish submarine force strengthens security in our shared Baltic Sea, and across NATO as a whole. When Sweden and Poland share the most advanced capabilities in the Baltic Sea, our part of the world becomes safer. This deal also strengthens the competitiveness of both our countries. The project is expected to create more than 7,000 jobs in Poland. Hundreds of Polish companies will become new subcontractors to SAAB, which plans to invest up to one hundred million euros in Poland. And through the joint development of the submarines, our countries’ defence industries will draw closer together. In Sweden too, this will create a significant number of jobs at the shipyards in Landskrona and Karlskrona, where the submarines will be built. The first submarine will be delivered in 2031. In the meantime, we will lease a Swedish submarine as a “gap-filler” to the Polish Navy. Training of Polish sailors begins as early as August.
