Watch it here.
According to the Embassy’s website Mr Jevrell’s previous positions have included Districh Prosecutor at Västerort local public prosecution office in Stockholm, deputy head of coordination at the Prime Minister s Office coordination office and State Secretary at the Ministry of Defence between 2007 and 2012.

“It is great to be here(…) I like when thing happens and it truly does in Singapore.”
