A sale of the early warning and control aircraft to France will benefit both countries and deepen their interoperability, Jonson said after attending the Paris Air Show.
He did not say when a contract could be signed or how much the aircraft would cost.
NATO members Sweden and France also signed a road map on further defence cooperation, Jonson said.
