The Embassy of Sweden in Dhaka is Sweden's diplomatic mission in Bangladesh. It is located in the Gulshan area of the capital.[1] Along with Swedish visas, the embassy represents Schengen visas for Belgium, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland and Slovenia.

History

Bangladesh declared independence in 1971 and Sweden, with its recognition in February 1972, was one of the first countries to recognize the newly formed Bangladesh.[2] The Swedish representation in Bangladesh was initially subordinated to the Swedish embassy in New Delhi.[3] The Swedish embassy in Dhaka was opened in 1975. In January 1977 it was reported that the Swedish mission in Dhaka becomes an independent embassy.[4] Arne Lellki, deputy director at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, became ambassador at the new embassy on 1 July 1977.[5]

In August 1994, it was reported that the Swedish embassy had received enhanced protection after approximately 500 Muslim students from the Bangladesh Islami Chattra Sena demonstrated. This protest occurred because the author Taslima Nasrin was allowed to leave Bangladesh and travel to Sweden instead of facing legal action for alleged blasphemy.[6]

The current Swedish ambassador to Bangladesh is Alexandra Berg von Linde.[7]

Areas of cooperation include trade, development assistance, climate change and environmental issues, migration policy, refugee mitigation and housing, and cultural exchanges.[9][10][11][12]

Activities and programs

Major areas of development cooperation by Sweden in Bangladesh focus on democracy, human rights, gender equality, health and education sectors. Swedish assistance also goes to programs supporting adaption to climate change effects,[13] disaster risk reduction and renewable energy in Bangladesh.[14] Trade between the two countries consists mainly of Bangladesh's exports of readymade garments to Sweden and Sweden's exports of telecom equipment, machinery and mechanical appliances to Bangladesh.[15] The embassy provides consular services to Swedish citizens visiting or residing in Bangladesh. It also processes visa applications for Bangladeshi nationals traveling to Sweden.
