The Ambassador of Sweden to Sudia Arabia (known formally as the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden to Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) is the official representative of the government of Sweden to the monarch and government of Saudi Arabia. The ambassador has a dual accreditation to Muscat (Oman) and to Sanaa (Yemen).
Sweden's first ambassador accredited to Saudi Arabia was Brynolf Eng, who was the Swedish envoy in Cairo starting in 1957. Later, the Swedish ambassador in Beirut, Lebanon, was accredited to Saudi Arabia.
At the beginning of 1967, a permanent representation was established in Saudi Arabia's commercial center, Jeddah, under the leadership of an acting chargé d'affaires. The office was subordinate to the Swedish ambassador in Beirut, Lebanon.[1]
In December 1973, Bengt Rösiö was appointed as Sweden's first resident ambassador in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.[2]
