State Secretary of Sweden, (Swedish: statssekreterare). Each cabinet minister of the Swedish government has a State Secretary, who is the closest person working with the cabinet minister. Some cabinet ministers of higher rank, like the Minister for Finance (Swedish: finansminister), have more than one State Secretary. If a minister dies or resigns, or if a government resigns, the State Secretary also turns in their resignation.

Famous quotes containing the words state and/or secretary:
“Our ancestors were savages. The story of Romulus and Remus being suckled by a wolf is not a meaningless fable. The founders of every state which has risen to eminence have drawn their nourishment and vigor from a similar wild source. It was because the children of the Empire were not suckled by the wolf that they were conquered and displaced by the children of the northern forests who were.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The truth is, the whole administration under Roosevelt was demoralized by the system of dealing directly with subordinates. It was obviated in the State Department and the War Department under [Secretary of State Elihu] Root and me [Taft was the Secretary of War], because we simply ignored the interference and went on as we chose.... The subordinates gained nothing by his assumption of authority, but it was not so in the other departments.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
