      History


      In June 1956, Sweden officially recognized Tunisia as an independent state. The Swedish consulate in Tunis had established relations with the Tunisian authorities, signifying Sweden's recognition of Tunisia. Sweden and Tunisia established diplomatic relations that same year.
      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.
      In December 2000, it was decided that the embassy in Tunis would be closed in 2001. From 2002, Sweden's ambassador to Tunisia was stationed in Stockholm. On 5 November 2015, the Swedish government announced that the embassy in Tunis would be reopened, and from 2016, Sweden's ambassador to Tunisia was once again stationed in Tunis.
