History

In April 1950, Carl Douglas was appointed as chargé d'affaires ad interim to head the newly established Swedish legation in Indonesia. [1]

In November 1952, Malte Pripp was appointed as Sweden's first resident minister in Jakarta. [2] In January 1953, the Swedish minister in Jakarta was also accredited to Manila, Philippines. [3] Pripp took office on 12 February 1953, [4] and in the same month, he presented his credentials to President Sukarno of Indonesia. [5]

In May 1958, an agreement was reached between the Swedish and Indonesian governments to elevate their respective legations to embassies. As a result, the diplomatic rank was changed from envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to ambassador. [6]

In November 1958, the Swedish ambassador in Jakarta was appointed as envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to Kuala Lumpur, Federation of Malaya. [7]

The accreditation for Kuala Lumpur was taken over by the Swedish ambassador in Bangkok in 1964. [8] The accreditation for Manila was taken over by the Swedish ambassador in Manila after Sweden opened an embassy in the Philippines in 1980. [9]

The Swedish ambassador in Jakarta has also served as the ambassador to Dili since 2002, [10] following the establishment of diplomatic relations between Sweden and Timor-Leste on 20 May of the same year. [11]
