If the Secretary General will visit Sweden I would, as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Svenska Dagbladet, like to invite the Secretary General to address the members of the Svenska Dagbladet Executive Club and their guests. Svenska Dagbladet is, as you may know, a nationwide morning paper with a circulation of over 200,000 copies. Its main coverage is the Stockholm area. The Svenska Dagbladet Executive Club started in 1980 and is probably the most important forum for top ranking business executives and government officials in Sweden. Its 600 members are invited five times a year to meetings with prominent lecturers from all over the world. For example, in recent years the Executive Club was addressed by such eminent personalities as Margaret Thatcher, Mikhail Gorbachev, George Bush, Helmut Schmidt, Bill Gates, Hans Tietmeyer, Lech Walesa, Benazir Bhutto among others (enclosed you will please find a complete list). On April 16th the President of Ireland, Mary Robinson will address the Executive Club and on September 30th the President of Finland, Martti Ahtisaari have accepted to speak. The meetings of the Executive Club are normally closed to the media but in this particular case, we leave it to the Secretary General to decide if he would like a select group of journalists, TV, radio and print media to be present. We very much look forward to hear from you.
