The Ambassador of Sweden to Burkina Faso (known formally as the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden to Burkina Faso) is the official representative of the government of Sweden to the head of state of Burkina Faso and government of Burkina Faso.

History

Until 1960 the French Upper Volta was a French possession as a part of French West Africa. In 1958 Upper Volta became an autonomous republic in the French Community, and achieved independence as the Republic of Upper Volta on 5 August 1960.[1] Ragnar Edenman, serving as interim Swedish Minister for Foreign Affairs, sent a congratulatory telegram to President Maurice Yaméogo of Upper Volta.[2] On 4 August 1984 the country changed its name from Upper Volta to Burkina Faso.

Sweden's first ambassador accredited in Ouagadougou was Karl Henrik Andersson, who held a dual accreditation from the Swedish embassy in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, starting in 1964.[3] During the 1960s and 1970s, the Swedish ambassador was accredited from the Swedish embassy in Lagos, Nigeria, and during the 1980s until the mid-2000s, the ambassador was accredited from the Swedish embassy in Abidjan. The ambassador has also been stationed in Stockholm for a few periods, from 1979 to 1982 and 2006–2010.[4][5]

Sweden opened an embassy in Ouagadougou in 2010. The Swedish ambassador in Bamako held a dual accreditation to Ouagadougou and the embassy in Ouagadougou was headed by a chargé d'affaires.[6] In 2021, Sweden's first resident ambassador in Ouagadougou was appointed.
