Embassy of Sweden, Santiago
The Embassy of Sweden in Santiago is Sweden's diplomatic mission in Chile, currently located in Las Condes. Sweden first established diplomatic ties with Chile in the 19th century, opening a consulate in 1846. By 1939, the Swedish legation in Santiago became independent, and in 1956 it was elevated to a full embassy. During the 1973 Chilean coup, Ambassador Harald Edelstam and embassy staff played a key humanitarian role, rescuing political refugees and protecting cultural artifacts. Edelstam was expelled later that year, and Sweden maintained only a minimal presence until democracy returned in 1991. Since then, the embassy has resumed full diplomatic activities, including temporary responsibility for Peru when the Swedish embassy in Lima was closed. As of 2025, the embassy employs three Swedish diplomats, nine local staff, and one intern. Its mission includes promoting trade, culture, migration and consular matters, and reporting on politics, human rights, and the economy. The chancery has moved multiple times and, since 2023, is located at Apoquindo Avenue 2929. The ambassadorial residence, completed in 2006, is at 9640 Via Celeste Street in Vitacura and features a two-story modern design with glass walls, terraces, and expansive lawns.
