The Ambassador of Sweden to Portugal (known formally as the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden to the Portuguese Republic) is the official representative of the government of Sweden to the president of Portugal and government of Portugal.
History
Between 1900 and 1937, the Swedish minister in Madrid, Spain, was accredited to Lisbon.
In January 1951, it was reported that the minister position in Lisbon, would be abolished. After this, Sweden's diplomatic mission in Portugal was to be headed by a chargé d'affaires rather than a full ambassador. The Swedish envoy in Madrid was to extend their duties to cover Portugal. Although the Foreign Minister supported this change, some members of the Committee of Supply, particularly from the right and liberal parties, opposed it, advocating to retain the position for at least another year. However, the committee ultimately approved the abolition of the post. The Portuguese refused to accept this arrangement. The Foreign Minister resolved the issue by appointing a chargé d'affaires en pied to replace the minister, ensuring the position remained filled at a lower diplomatic rank. In 1953, a Swedish minister was once again appointed in Lisbon, reinstating the higher diplomatic position after the earlier changes.
In 1959, an agreement was reached between the Swedish and Portuguese 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.
The Swedish ambassador in Lisbon has, during various periods, also been accredited to other countries: between 1958 and 1961, the Swedish ambassador was also accredited to Monrovia, Liberia; between 1979 and 1994, to Bissau, Guinea-Bissau, and Praia, Cape Verde; and since 2008, to São Tomé, São Tomé and Príncipe. After the Swedish embassy in Dakar, Senegal was closed in 2010, responsibility for Cape Verde and Guinea-Bissau was transferred back to the ambassador in Lisbon.
