The Ambassador of Sweden to Timor-Leste (known formally as the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden to the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste) is the official representative of the government of Sweden to the president of Timor-Leste and government of Timor-Leste. Since Sweden does not have an embassy in Dili, Sweden's ambassador to Timor-Leste is based in Jakarta, Indonesia.
History The Swedish government decided on 8 May 2002 to enter into an agreement on the establishment of diplomatic relations with Timor-Leste through an exchange of notes. The agreement was signed in Stockholm on 20 May 2002 and on 22 May 2002 in Dili. The agreement entered into force on 20 May 2002, the same day that Timor-Leste became independent. The same year, Sweden's ambassador in Jakarta, Indonesia, was also accredited to Timor-Leste's capital, Dili.
