The Ambassador of Sweden to Angola (known formally as the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden to the Republic of Angola) is the official representative of the government of Sweden to the president of Angola and government of Angola.

History

Sweden was among the first countries to recognize Angola in 1975, and diplomatic relations were established as early as February 1976.[1] The Swedish embassy in Luanda opened in October 1976, merely six months after independence.[2] Kaj Falkman was appointed Sweden's first ambassador to Angola.[3]

The Swedish embassy closed in November 2022. On 1 December 2022, an ambassador for Angola took office, stationed in Stockholm. The ambassador travels to Angola regularly.[4]
