The Ambassador of Sweden to Turkmenistan (known formally as the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden to Turkmenistan) is the official representative of the government of Sweden to the president of Turkmenistan and government of Turkmenistan. Since Sweden does not have an embassy in Ashgabat, Sweden's ambassador to Turkmenistan is based in Stockholm, Sweden.
On 16 January 1992, the Swedish government recognized Turkmenistan as an independent state.[1] On 9 April 1992, the Swedish government decided to establish diplomatic relations with Turkmenistan. The agreement came into effect on 10 April 1992, when it was signed in Ashgabat by Ambassador Örjan Berner on behalf of Sweden and Adby Kuliv on behalf of Turkmenistan.[2] The following year, Sweden's ambassador in Moscow was also accredited to Turkmenistan. From 2004 onward, a Stockholm-based ambassador-at-large was appointed, who in addition to Turkmenistan is also ambassador to other Central Asian countries.
