The Ambassador of Sweden to Switzerland (known formally as the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden to the Swiss Confederation) is the official representative of the government of Sweden to the president of the Swiss Confederation and the Federal Council.
In August 1915, the Swedish government appointed the former minister for foreign affairs, Count Albert Ehrensvärd, as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Swiss Confederation.
This made him Sweden's first ministerial representative in Switzerland, where the country had previously only been represented by a consular agent in Geneva.
[3] In April 1957, an agreement was reached between the Swedish and Swiss governments on the mutual elevation of the respective countries' legations to embassies.
The diplomatic rank was thereafter changed to ambassador instead of envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary.
