On Tuesday 24th of January the Swedish Armed Forces Supreme Commander, General Sverker Göranson,  inaugurated a Nordic centre to raise the participating countries competence in gender issues within planning, execution and evaluation in military operations.
The Swedish Minister of Defence, Sten Tolgfors, held the opening speech and stated:
- It is imperative that Resolution 1325 is not perceived as something aside or separated from other efforts. Rights of civilians, women and children, must be a natural and integrated part of all that we do to support peace and security.
