"Congratulations to Biden and Harris!", Writes Prime Minister Stefan Löfven's English-language Twitter account.

"Agree with the message of unity and respect".

And Sweden's Prime Minister is not the only world leader who has marched out on the major social media platforms to send a traditional greeting to the new President and Vice President of the United States.

"Congratulations to Joe Biden", writes Mette Frederiksen, Prime Minister of Denmark, and tells of her hopes that Biden will be "a unifying force after all the turmoil and division".

Neighboring Canadian leader Justin Trudeau, in addition to congratulations, points to the two countries' common past, where they "tackled some of history's biggest challenges together", and wishes a continuation of cooperation.

Greetings and congratulations have also come from, among others, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, Croatian Prime Minister Andrei Plenković and Edgar Chagwa Lungu, President of Zambia.
