韓院長表示，瑞典為北歐創新強國，孕育了眾多知名國際品牌如IKEA、H&M及Volvo等，展現其卓越的創新與設計實力。他並以幽默口吻分享大學時期的回憶，提到每逢舞會第一首播放的歌曲，總是瑞典ABBA合唱團的經典名曲《Dancing Queen》，令人對瑞典倍感親切與好感。
He also stated that Sweden is a Nordic innovation powerhouse and home to numerous world-renowned brands such as IKEA, H&M, and Volvo, showcasing the nation's exceptional prowess in innovation and design. He also shared a humorous anecdote from his college days, recalling how the first song played at every dance was always ABBA’s classic “Dancing Queen.” These memories, he noted, have left him with a lasting sense of warmth and affinity toward Sweden.
韓院長強調，我國立法院共有113位立委，今日三大黨團均派員出席，充分展現出跨黨派對臺瑞友好關係的高度重視，期盼未來雙方持續深化交流與合作，共創互惠共榮的新局。

He expressed hope that both sides will continue to deepen bilateral exchanges and cooperation to create a new era of mutual benefit and prosperity.
團長安絲特（Alexandra Anstrell）議員感謝韓院長及出席委員撥冗接待，並回應院長對ABBA合唱團的喜愛，表示若院長有機會造訪瑞典，將親自邀請參觀ABBA博物館。她指出，當前全球正面臨市場變動與地緣政治挑戰，臺瑞兩國同樣秉持開放市場與遵守國際規則的原則，應攜手捍衛民主、維護區域安全與穩定。安絲特團長並提及俄烏戰爭對歐洲及全球秩序造成的衝擊，強調瑞典與芬蘭加入北約（NATO），即顯示強化共同防禦的重要性，期盼與臺灣就民主治理與國防政策等進行更多交流。
MP Alexandra Anstrell, head of the delegation, thanked President Han and the legislators for taking the time to meet with the delegates. Echoing President Han’s fondness for ABBA, she added that she would personally invite him to visit ABBA The Museum should he have the opportunity to travel to Sweden. She mentioned that Taiwan and Sweden, with shared principles of an open market and compliance with international rules, should work jointly to safeguard democracy and maintain regional security and stability in the face of global market changes and geopolitical challenges. MP Anstrell further remarked that the Russia-Ukraine war has impacted the world order, both in Europe and globally, and that the inclusion of Sweden and Finland into NATO reflects the importance of collective defense. She added that she looked forward to more exchanges with Taiwan in areas such as democratic governance and national defense policies.
雙邊交流時，陳永康委員指出，全球局勢瞬息萬變，臺灣與瑞典在面對中、俄等威脅時，應加強經驗交流，另期盼在高科技與教育領域深化合作，攜手強化民主韌性與國家競爭力。

He further expressed hope for deeper cooperation in high-tech and education, working together to bolster democratic resilience and national competitiveness.
林月琴委員高度肯定瑞典在保障兒少權益方面的作為，表示瑞典自1979年起立法全面禁止體罰，另有長達480天的育嬰假制度，堪為臺灣在社會福利政策上借鏡的典範。
Legislator Lin Yueh-Chin spoke highly of Sweden’s achievements in safeguarding the rights of children and adolescents. She noted that Sweden's nationwide ban on corporal punishment since 1979 and its 480-day parental leave system serve as exemplary models for Taiwan to draw upon in its social welfare policies.
林國成委員表示，期盼與訪團就國際貿易、關稅及烏俄戰爭等議題進行交流，促進雙邊合作與瞭解。訪團對此回應，烏俄戰爭與關稅變化間接影響瑞典，導致能源漲價、供應鏈受擾，有賴推動強化國防與貿易的策略予以因應。
Legislator Lin Kuo-Chen expressed a desire to exchange ideas with the delegation on global trade, tariffs, and the Russia-Ukraine war, believing this would be conducive to bilateral cooperation and mutual understanding between the two countries. In response, the delegation acknowledged that the Russia-Ukraine war and tariff changes have impacted Sweden, citing rising energy prices and a disrupted supply chain, and mentioning that better national defense and trade strategies would be required to address these challenges.
