The Ambassador of Sweden to Chad (known formally as the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden to the Republic of Chad) is the official representative of the government of Sweden to the president of Chad and government of Chad. Since Sweden does not have an embassy in N'Djamena, Sweden's ambassador in Kampala, Uganda, is also accredited to N'Djamena, the capital of Chad.

History

[edit | edit source]

On the occasion of the Republic of Chad's declaration of independence on 11 August 1960, Acting Minister for Foreign Affairs Ragnar Edenman stated in a congratulatory telegram to president and Head of Government François Tombalbaye that the Swedish government recognizes the Republic of Chad as a sovereign and independent state. The Swedish government expressed its hopes for friendly and cordial relations between the two countries. At the same time, congratulatory telegrams had been sent from the King of Sweden as well.[1]

The Swedish government decided on 17 August 1995, with effect from 3 August 1995, to enter into an agreement with Chad to establish diplomatic relations. The agreement entered into force on 11 August 1995. It was signed on 3 August 1995 in Berlin by the Swedish Ambassador Örjan Berner and the Chadian Ambassador MBailaou Naibaye Lossimia.[2]

On 18 January 1996, Carl-Erhard Lindahl was appointed Sweden's first ambassador to Chad. The post was a Stockholm-based ambassador-at-large position, and in addition to Chad he also served as ambassador to eight other African nations.[3] Since 2002, Sweden's ambassador to Chad has been accredited from another nearby African country.
