List of ambassadors of Sweden to Argentina
The Ambassador of Sweden to Argentina (known formally as the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden to the Argentine Republic ) is the official representative of the government of Sweden to the president of Argentina and government of Argentina .
History
On 10 December 1831, a Swedish consulate was established in Buenos Aires , whose first holder was referred to as the consul general. On 1 October 1906, the position of consul general was combined with that of the head of the Swedish legation to the Argentine Republic, with a jurisdiction limited to that state.[ 1]
From 1918, the minister in Buenos Aires was also accredited in Santiago (Chile) and Montevideo (Uruguay).[ 2]
In January 1957, an agreement was reached between the Swedish and Argentine 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 .[ 3]
Today the Swedish ambassador in Argentina is also accredited to Paraguay and Uruguay.[ 4]
