The Ambassador of Sweden to Madagascar (known formally as the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden to the Republic of Madagascar) is the official representative of the government of Sweden to the president of Madagascar and government of Madagascar. Since Sweden does not have an embassy in Antananarivo, Sweden's ambassador to Madagascar is based in Maputo, Mozambique.

History

On the occasion of the Malagasy Republic's declaration of independence on 26 June 1960, Acting Minister for Foreign Affairs Herman Kling stated in a congratulatory telegram to Madagascar's president and Head of Government, Philibert Tsiranana, that the Swedish government recognized Madagascar as a sovereign and independent state. He expressed the hope for friendly and cordial relations between the two countries. At the same time, King Gustaf VI Adolf sent a congratulatory telegram. [1]

In August 1961, Sweden's ambassador in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Åke Sjölin, was appointed ambassador also to Antananarivo, Madagascar. [2] On 7 March 1962, Ambassador Sjölin presented his credentials to the President Philibert Tsiranana. [3]

From 1961 to 1981, the Swedish ambassador in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, was also accredited to Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar. In 1981, a Stockholm-based ambassador-at-large for the countries in and around the Indian Ocean, including Madagascar, took over responsibility for the accreditation. In 1999, responsibility was transferred to the Swedish ambassador in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. In the 2010s, it was transferred to the Swedish ambassador in Maputo, Mozambique.
