Uruguayans in Sweden are people born in Uruguay who live in Sweden, or Swedish-born people of Uruguayan descent.
As of 2013, there were over 4,000 Uruguayans living in Swedish territory.
[1] Since Sweden was and remains a highly democratic country and a net receiver of immigrants, during the civic-military dictatorship of Uruguay (1973–1985) there were several Uruguayans fled to Sweden; this was possible, among others, much because of Ambassador Harald Edelstam.
[1] Uruguayan residents in Sweden have their own institutions, for instance, Casa Uruguay in Malmö[2] and the Consultative Councils in Stockholm and Gothenburg.
