The Ambassador of Sweden to Yemen (known formally as the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden to the Republic of Yemen) is the official representative of the government of Sweden to the government of Yemen and the president of Yemen.
History Sweden established diplomatic relations with the Yemen Arab Republic (North Yemen) and the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen (South Yemen) in December 1970 and appointed ambassadors accredited to the North Yemeni capital, Sanaa and to the South Yemeni capital, Aden.
The Yemeni unification took place on 22 May 1990, when North Yemen and South Yemen united to form the Republic of Yemen. Sweden's ambassador in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Lennart Alvin, who had been accredited as Swedish ambassador to North Yemen since 1987, was now accredited to the new republic.
Since 1990, Sweden's ambassador to Saudi Arabia has been accredited to Yemen's capital, Sanaa, except during the years 1999–2003, when Sweden's ambassador to Yemen was based in Cairo, Egypt.
