History

Sweden recognized Bangladesh as an independent state on 4 February 1972. [1] That same year, Sweden's ambassador to India was also accredited to Bangladesh. Between 1972 and 1977, there was an embassy counsellor and chargé d'affaires stationed in Dhaka.

Sweden's first resident ambassador in Dhaka was Arne Lellki  [ sv ], who took office on 1 July 1977. [2]
