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]
