The Ambassador of Sweden to Uzbekistan (known formally as the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden to the Republic of Uzbekistan) is the official representative of the government of Sweden to the president of Uzbekistan and government of Uzbekistan. Since Sweden does not have an embassy in Tashkent, Sweden's ambassador to Uzbekistan is based in Stockholm, Sweden.
On 16 January 1992, the Swedish government recognized Uzbekistan as an independent state.[1] On 2 April 1992, the Swedish government decided to establish diplomatic relations with Uzbekistan. The agreement came into effect on 8 April 1992, when it was signed in Tashkent by Ambassador Örjan Berner on behalf of Sweden and A. Abdurazakov on behalf of Uzbekistan.[2] The following year, Sweden's ambassador in Moscow was also accredited to Uzbekistan. From 2004 onward, a Stockholm-based ambassador-at-large was appointed, who in addition to Uzbekistan is also ambassador to other Central Asian countries.
