The Ambassador of Sweden to Belgium (known formally as the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden to the Kingdom of Belgium) is the official representative of the government of Sweden to the monarch and government of Belgium.
History
The Swedish diplomatic mission in Belgium was established in 1837. From 1869 to 1895, the mission was shared with The Hague, Netherlands, located in the latter city and covering both states.[1] Until 1921, the envoy in Brussels had a dual accreditation in The Hague.[2]
In March 1956, an agreement was reached between the Swedish and Belgian 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]
The Swedish embassy closed in 2011 and since then a Stockholm-based ambassador has been responsible for the bilateral relations between Sweden and Belgium.[4]
