The Ambassador of Sweden to Tunisia (known formally as the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden to the Republic of Tunisia) is the official representative of the government of Sweden to the president of Tunisia and government of Tunisia.
History
[edit]Sweden and Tunisia have maintained diplomatic relations since Tunisia's independence in 1956.[1] Sweden's first envoy to Tunisia was Lennart Petri , who also served as Sweden's envoy in Rabat, Morocco, with dual accreditation in Tunis. In July 1959, an agreement was reached between the Swedish and Tunisian governments to elevate their respective legations to embassies. As a result, the diplomatic rank was changed from envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to ambassador. In connection with this, Sweden's envoy in Rabat, Lennart Petri, was appointed ambassador in Tunis.[2]
In December 2000, it was decided that the embassy in Tunis would be closed in 2001.[3] From 2002, Sweden's ambassador to Tunisia was stationed in Stockholm.[4] On 5 November 2015, the Swedish government announced that the embassy in Tunis would be reopened,[5] and from 2016, Sweden's ambassador to Tunisia was once again stationed in Tunis.
