00:00Sweden has unveiled plans for its first dedicated foreign intelligence service,
00:04marking the country's largest security reform in decades.
00:08Foreign Minister Maria Malmur-Stanagard announced the new agency will be named UND
00:13and is set to begin operations in January 2027.
00:18The move is a direct response to the heightened threat environment following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
00:23The minister compared the upcoming service to the UK's MI6,
00:27emphasizing that modern warfare requires an intelligence and technological edge,
00:31just as much as traditional weaponry.
00:34Det har blivit mycket tydligt under det pågående kriget i Ukraina
00:39att informationsövertag och möjligheten till snabb och kontinuerlig anpassning
00:44av olika tekniska system är lika avgörande som kvalificerade vapensystem.
00:51En innovativ, framåtlutad underrättelsetjänst som ständigt befinner sig vid den tekniska frontlinjen
00:56är av avgörande betydelse.
00:59The new agency will take over some responsibilities from the current military intelligence service
01:04known as MUST.
01:05It is designed to work closely with domestic security and the national defense radio establishment
01:10to identify and process external threats.
01:13As a new NATO member of Sweden says,
01:15the restructuring will better align its intelligence capabilities with those of its western allies.
01:20The government expects to send the bill for the creation of the new agency to parliament this June.
