Russia and Belarus had been previously banned over its roles in the war in Ukraine, while Jimmie Akesson has been snubbed in the past due to his Swedish political party's immigration stance.
Russia, Belarus and Iran have all been readmitted to the Nobel Foundation, after the organisation reversed its previous policy of banning them.
Vidar Helgesen, the foundation's leader, said there had been a global trend in which"dialogue between those with differing views is being reduced".He added:"We are now broadening our invitations to celebrate and understand the Nobel Prize and the importance of free science, free culture and free, peaceful societies."
It added that"this common approach promotes opportunities to convey the important messages of the Nobel Prize to everyone, and in future this practice will be common to the entire organisation".
