Gösta Greger Stig Fabian Brunnström (4 March 1907 – 11 June 1989) was a Swedish diplomat.
Brunnström was born on 4 March 1907 in Helsingborg, Sweden, the son of director Fabian Brunnström and his wife Hildur (née Banck). He was commissioned as an officer in 1929 and was lieutenant in the Scanian Cavalry Regiment (K 2) reserve from 1932 to 1946. Brunnström received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1932 and Candidate of Law degree from Uppsala University in 1936 before he became an attaché at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs in 1936.
Brunnström served at the consulate-general in Calcutta in 1937, was the acting consul general there in 1938, attaché in Paris in 1939, Oslo in 1940 and was second legation secretary in Washington, D.C. in 1941. He was the acting chargé d'affaires in Mexico City in 1942, legation secretary in Rio de Janeiro in 1943 and in Buenos Aires in 1944 and the first secretary at the Foreign Ministry in 1944. Brunnström was then director of the Foreign Ministry's Maritime Bureau (Utrikesdepartementets sjöfartsbyrå) from 1946 to 1948, first secretary of the mission in Washington, D.C. in 1948 and in Buenos Aires in 1949 as well as director at the Foreign Ministry in 1954. He was ambassador in Karachi from 1956 to 1960, Beirut, also accredited to Riyadh, Amman and Nicosia from 1960 to 1965 and Damascus from 1961 to 1965. Brunnström was ambassador in Athens from 1965.[1] Brunnström was recalled to Stockholm in 1967 'for consultations' as a protest against the regime in Greece. In September 1969, he was appointed consul general in Montreal. The Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated at that time that 'Brunnström's appointment did not affect his accreditation with the King of Greece, and that this accreditation formally remained unchanged.'[2] Brunnström was accredited as ambassador to Athens until 1972 but served the same time as consul general in Montreal.[1]
In 1943 he married Mary Davis (1917-1987), the daughter of Allen Davis and Alice Suplee. Brunnström was the owner of the Hamilton House in Helsingborg.[3]
Brunnström died on 11 June 1989 and was buried on 13 July 1989 at Pålsjö Cemetery in Helsingborg.[4]
