The Ambassador of Sweden to Denmark (known formally as the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden to the Kingdom of Denmark) is the official representative of the government of Sweden to the monarch and government of Denmark.

History

In September 1947, an agreement was reached between the Swedish and Danish governments on the mutual elevation of the respective countries' legations to embassies. The diplomatic rank was thereafter changed to ambassador instead of envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary. In the same month, Ambassador Gustaf von Dardel [sv] presented his credentials to King Frederik IX at Fredensborg Palace.[1]
