List of ambassadors of Sweden to Turkey

The Ambassador of Sweden to Turkey is the official representative of the government of Sweden to the president of Turkey and the government of Turkey.

History

In a report on the reorganization of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs in early January 1921, it was proposed that the head of the mission in Constantinople also be accredited in Sofia, Belgrade, Athens, Tiflis, Baku, and eventually in Armenia. However, the experts suggested that, for the time being, the minister should be accredited only in Sofia.
In December 1956, an agreement was reached between the Swedish and Turkish governments on the mutual elevation of the respective countries' legations to embassies. The diplomatic rank was thereafter changed to ambassador instead of envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary.
