Officially neutral but Swedish neutrality has really been bogus since WWII. In reality Sweden is a western ally in the case of war.

Strictly speaking we are not neutral because we are an EU member (political union). And we have ratified EUs 42.7.

Both NATO Article 5 and EU 42.7 have political loopholes. But the basic language is strictly compelling.

Ok, but still, can Swedish government commit its troops overseas?

Sweden is also a part of the coalition fighting ISIS, has troops on the ground in Iraq.
