Sweden's national security adviser Niclas Kvarnström left a notebook behind during last week's NATO summit in Turkey, according to Sveriges Radio.
Ministers were questioned about the incident during a government press conference. Foreign Trade Minister Benjamin Dousa said the information available to the government did not indicate that secret or security-classified material had been disclosed.
The report did not establish what the notebook contained, where it was found or whether anyone outside the Swedish delegation accessed it.
Kvarnström is the third person to serve as national security adviser since the government created the position in 2022. The latest incident raises a fresh accountability question around an office responsible for coordinating some of Sweden's most sensitive security work, although there is currently no evidence of a classified-information breach.
