The Ambassador of Sweden to Mexico (known formally as the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden to the United Mexican States) is the official representative of the government of Sweden to the president of Mexico and government of Mexico.

History

[edit]

In a report on the reorganization of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs in early January 1921, the experts recommended a proposal from the Swedish chargé d'affaires in Mexico to extend the mission's area of responsibility to the Central American states, British Honduras, as well as Cuba, Venezuela, Colombia, Haiti, and San Domingo, along with the British, French, Dutch, and American possessions in the West Indies.[1]

In 1956, an agreement was reached between the Swedish and Mexican 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.[2]
