The Ambassador of Sweden to Djibouti (known formally as the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden to the Republic of Djibouti) is the official representative of the government of Sweden to the president of Djibouti and government of Djibouti. Since Sweden does not have an embassy in Djibouti City, Sweden's ambassador to Djibouti is based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
In August 1979, Sweden's ambassador in Addis Ababa, Arne Helleryd, was also accredited to Djibouti City.[1] Both countries established diplomatic relations on 20 February 1980, when Helleryd presented his credentials to President Hassan Gouled Aptidon.[2] Since then, Sweden's ambassador in Addis Ababa has been accredited to Djibouti City.
