History

Sweden and Hungary established diplomatic relations on 12 November 1920. [1] On 16 February 1921, Envoy Oskar Ewerlöf  [ sv ] presented his credentials to Miklós Horthy, the Regent of Hungary. [2] The Swedish envoy in Vienna was accredited in Budapest from 1920 to 1924, the Swedish envoy in Bern from 1924 to 1928, and again the Swedish envoy in Vienna from 1928 to 1938.

On 29 April 1938, changes in the Swedish foreign representation were announced. Envoy Torsten Undén  [ sv ], who had previously served as the Swedish envoy in Vienna with accreditation also in Budapest, would now move his residence and the chancery to Budapest. [3] After the end of World War II, a Swedish chargé d'affaires was stationed in Budapest until 1949, when the Swedish envoy in Bucharest was accredited to Budapest.

In January 1951, it was reported that the position of head of mission in Bucharest would be discontinued, which was also accredited to Budapest. The responsibility for Sweden's representation in Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria, would thereafter be divided between Belgrade, Moscow, and Prague, with Sweden being represented in those countries by lower-ranking personnel for the time being. [4] The Swedish envoy in Prague was subsequently accredited to Budapest.

In January 1964, it was proposed that the mission in Budapest should be granted independent status. [5] The same month, the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs announced that an agreement had been reached to elevate both the Swedish legation in Budapest and the Hungarian legation in Stockholm to embassies. [6] The decision to grant the mission in Budapest independent status and have it led by an ambassador was made by parliament in March 1964. [7]
