The Ambassador of Sweden to Kyrgyzstan (known formally as the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden to the Kyrgyz Republic) is the official representative of the government of Sweden to the president of Kyrgyzstan and government of Kyrgyzstan. Since Sweden does not have an embassy in Bishkek, Sweden's ambassador to Kyrgyzstan is based in Stockholm, Sweden.
History On 16 January 1992, the Swedish government recognized the Kyrgyz Republic as an independent state. On 19 March 1992, the Swedish government decided to establish diplomatic relations with Kyrgyzstan. The agreement came into effect on 25 March 1992, when it was signed in Helsinki by Foreign Minister Margaretha af Ugglas on behalf of Sweden and Muratbek Imanalive on behalf of Kyrgyzstan. The following year, Sweden's ambassador in Moscow was also accredited to Kyrgyzstan. From 2004 onward, a Stockholm-based ambassador-at-large was appointed, who in addition to Kyrgyzstan is also ambassador to other Central Asian countries.
