It said it will summon the charge d’affaires of the Swedish embassy to hand him a protest note with the Kingdom’s request to the Swedish authorities to take all immediate and necessary measures to stop these disgraceful acts.

The ministry affirmed the Kingdom’s categorical rejection of all these acts that fuel hatred between religions and limit dialogue between peoples.
