History
editA Swedish consulate (trade agency) was established in Rio de Janeiro on 24 May 1808.[2] Johan Albert Kantzow was appointed Sweden's first chargé d'affaires and general trading agent in Rio de Janeiro on 12 August 1808.[3] The consulate was restructured into a consulate general on 25 May 1850. The consul general had previously, in the capacity of chargé d'affaires, also held a diplomatic assignment, which ended by decision on 23 September 1864.[2]
In May 1918, the King in Council appointed and designated the chargé d'affaires and consul general in Rio de Janeiro, Johan Paues , as resident minister to Brazil.[4] He was appointed Sweden's first envoy to Brazil in 1921.[5]
In April 1956, an agreement was reached between the Swedish and Brazilian 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.[6] In June of the same year, Jan Stenström presented his credentials to the Brazilian Foreign Minister José Carlos de Macedo Soares .[7]
