The Ambassador of Sweden to Sri Lanka (known formally as the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden to the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka) is the official representative of the government of Sweden to the president of Sri Lanka and government of Sri Lanka.

History

[edit]

Sweden and Sri Lanka established diplomatic relations on 18 November 1949.[1]

In November 1961, an agreement was reached between the Swedish and Sri Lankan governments on the mutual elevation of Sweden's legation to embassy. The diplomatic rank was thereafter changed to ambassador instead of envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary.[2]

The Swedish embassy in Colombo opened in 1980.[3] Ambassadkansliet ersattes i januari 1980 av en beskickning, ledd av en tillförordnad chargé d'affaires.[4]

Chefsfunktionen på ambassaden i Colombo kommer att omdispone­ras och sammanföras med funktionen som chef för biståndskontoret när förordnandet för nuvarande innehavare av chefstjänsten för ambassaden upphör.[5]

Integrationen av ambassader och biståndskontor inleddes i slutet av år 1993 i Colombo.[6]

Vid andra ambassader med tyngdpunkt på utvecklingsfrågor leds arbetet av en chargé d’affaires. Exempel finns i Colombo, Vientiane och Windhoek.[7]

Beslut om stängning av ambassaden skedde sommaren 2009.[8] Den 4 mars 2010 stängde svenska ambassaden.[9] Ambassadören i New Delhi var liksom tidigare fortsatt ackrediterad till Colombo.
