      History


      Diplomatic relations between Sweden and Colombia were established in 1847.
      In a report on the reorganization of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs in early January 1921, the experts recommended a proposal from the chargé d'affaires in Mexico to extend the mission's area of responsibility to Colombia, and the Central American states, British Honduras, as well as Cuba, Venezuela, Haiti, and San Domingo, along with the British, French, Dutch, and American possessions in the West Indies. This did not materialize on Colombia's behalf.
      On 30 June 1930, Einar Modig was appointed as Sweden's first minister accredited to Venezuela, though stationed in Lima, Peru. He assumed office on 1 January 1931. Simultaneously, Albert Winqvist was appointed as legation counsellor with a specific focus on Colombia and Venezuela. Based in Bogotá, Winqvist also served as acting chargé d'affaires in Caracas and Bogotá during periods when the minister was absent.
      In 1949, Sweden's then chargé d'affaires in Bogotá, legation counsellor Ragnvald Bagge, was promoted to envoy and was also accredited in Panama City. He thereby became Sweden's first resident envoy in Bogotá.
      In September 1956, an agreement was reached between the Swedish and Colombian 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.
