Sweden's Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom said on Friday she would resign from her post to spend more time with her family, APA reports citing Reuters.
"I have put everything I have into the job of making Sweden safe, respected internationally and appreciated as a partner," Wallstrom said in a statement.
"It is time for me to spend more time with my husband, my children and my grandchildren."
The government said Wallstrom had said she wanted to leave her post soon, but did not specify when.
