The Ambassador of Sweden to Tajikistan (known formally as the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden to the Republic of Tajikistan) is the official representative of the government of Sweden to the president of Tajikistan and government of Tajikistan. Since Sweden does not have an embassy in Dushanbe, Sweden's ambassador to Tajikistan is based in Stockholm, Sweden.
History On 16 January 1992, the Swedish government recognized Tajikistan as an independent state. On 26 November 1992, the Swedish government decided to establish diplomatic relations with Tajikistan. The agreement came into effect on 9 December 1992, when it was signed in Moscow by Ambassador Örjan Berner on behalf of Sweden and Jamshed Karimov on behalf of Tajikistan. The following year, Sweden's ambassador in Moscow was also accredited to Tajikistan. From 2004 onward, a Stockholm-based ambassador-at-large was appointed, who in addition to Tajikistan is also ambassador to other Central Asian countries.
