The Ambassador of Sweden to the Federated States of Micronesia (known formally as the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden to the Federated States of Micronesia) is the official representative of the government of Sweden to the president of the Federated States of Micronesia and government of the Federated States of Micronesia. Since Sweden does not have an embassy in Palikir, Sweden's ambassador to the Federated States of Micronesia is based in Stockholm, Sweden.
History On 5 September 1991, Sweden recognized the Federated States of Micronesia as an independent state. The background was that the Federated States of Micronesia sought admission as a member of the United Nations.
The Swedish government decided on 5 December 1991 to enter into an agreement on the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Federated States of Micronesia through an exchange of notes. The agreement with the Federated States of Micronesia on the establishment of diplomatic relations was signed in New York City on 17 December 1991 and 26 August 1992. The agreement entered into force on 26 August 1992.
In 1995, a Swedish ambassador was accredited for the first time in the capital of the Federated States of Micronesia, Palikir. Between 1995 and 2024, Sweden's ambassador in Tokyo was concurrently accredited to Palikir.
As of 2025, the post of Swedish ambassador to the Federated States of Micronesia is held by a Stockholm-based ambassador-at-large, who is also ambassador to 10 other countries in Oceania.
