Stockholm (AINA) -- Swedish minister of integration Mr Erik Ullenhag, the leader of the main opposition party Mr Stefan Lofven and the leader of the left party Mr Jonas Sjostedt are keynote speakers during the Assyrian new year celebration in Sweden taking place on Saturday 29th March in the city of Sodertalje.

Hundreds of Assyrians are expected to attend the festivities, which will feature dancing, music, food and exhibitions. Two prominent members of the Assyrian community of Sweden, Mr Isak Betsimon and Robert Hanna, who are both running for seats in the European parliament (AINA 2014-02), will also address the audience.

With EU-parliament and national elections coming later this year, political parties and politicians are courting the nearly 100,000 Assyrians in Sweden.
