The Ambassador of Sweden to Moldova (known formally as the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden to the Republic of Moldova) is the official representative of the government of Sweden to the government of Moldova and the president of Moldova.
History On 2 April 1992, the Swedish government recognized the Republic of Moldova. On 27 May 1992, the Swedish government decided to enter into an agreement with Moldova to establish diplomatic relations. The agreement entered into force on 12 June 1992, upon its signing in Moscow by Ambassador Örjan Berner on behalf of Sweden, and Ion Cebuc on behalf of Moldova.
The Consulate General in Berlin, under the leadership of Consul General Jan Lundvik, was given responsibility for relations with Moldova in 1992, and that same year he was accredited as ambassador there. In 1994, the responsibility for Moldova was transferred to the embassy in Budapest when Jan Lundvik became ambassador there. The Swedish ambassador to Moldova was resident in neighoring countries from 1992 to 2010: Berlin (1992–1994), Budapest (1994–1998), Kiev (1998–2000), and Bucharest (2000–2010),
The Swedish Embassy in Chișinău was inaugurated on 30 September 2010. The ceremony was attended by Sweden's Minister for Foreign Affairs, Carl Bildt; Moldova's Acting President, Mihai Ghimpu; and Iurie Leancă, Minister of Foreign Affairs and European Integration.
