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.
