Council of State (Sweden)
Special government cabinet meeting (e. 1975) / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the pre 1975 institution, see King in Council (Sweden).
In Sweden since 1975, a Council of State (Swedish: Konselj) is a special cabinet meeting chaired by the Head of State. These are held a few times every year so that the government can, as required by the constitution, keep the king informed on matters of state.[1]
