The Ambassador of Sweden to Eswatini (known formally as the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden to the Kingdom of Eswatini) is the official representative of the government of Sweden to the king of Eswatini and government of Eswatini. Since Sweden does not have an embassy in Mbabane, Sweden's ambassador in Maputo, Uganda, is also accredited to Mbabane, the capital of Eswatini.

History

On the occasion of the proclamation of Swaziland's independence on 6 September 1968, Foreign Minister Torsten Nilsson declared in a congratulatory telegram to Prince Makhosini Dlamini, Prime Minister of Swaziland, that the Swedish government recognized Swaziland as a sovereign and independent state. He expressed the Swedish government's desire to maintain friendly and cordial relations with Swaziland. Sweden was represented at the official ceremonies held from 4–8 September 1968 in Mbabane by Envoy Eric Virgin, who had been tasked with conveying the Swedish King's congratulations. [1]

A few years later, [b] Sweden's envoy in Pretoria was also accredited to Swaziland's capital, Mbabane. From 1977 onward, Sweden's ambassador in Maputo, Mozambique, was also accredited to Swaziland, which has been known as Eswatini since 2018.
