'''Ylva Anna Maria Lindh''' (19 June 1957 – 11 September 2003) was a Swedish politician and lawyer. A member of the [[Swedish Social Democratic Party]], she served as [[Minister for Foreign Affairs (Sweden)|Minister for Foreign Affairs]] from 1998 until her death. She was also a [[Member of the Riksdag]] (member of parliament) for [[Södermanland County]] until her assassination. 

On 10 September 2003, four days before a referendum on replacing the [[Swedish krona]] with the [[euro]] as currency, Lindh was stabbed by [[Mijailo Mijailović]] at the [[Nordiska Kompaniet|NK]] department store in central [[Stockholm]]; she died the next morning at [[Karolinska University Hospital]]. She had been seen as a likely candidate to succeed [[Göran Persson]] as Social Democratic party leader. 

Her greatest commitment was to international cooperation and solidarity, as well as to environmental issues. She worked on these issues throughout her career, serving as Environment Minister from 1994 to 1998, and then as Foreign Minister for the last five years of her life.
