Swedish–Venezuelan relations are the bilateral relations between Sweden and Venezuela.
History
[edit]Sweden was among the 28 European Union countries that did not recognize the results of the 2017 Venezuelan Constituent Assembly elections.[1] Sweden also disavowed the results of the 2018 Venezuelan presidential election, where Nicolás Maduro was declared as the winner.[citation needed]
In 2019, during the Venezuelan presidential crisis, Sweden recognized Juan Guaidó as president of Venezuela and pledged to assist with the delivery of humanitarian aid that year.[2][3] On January 31, the European Union's High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Federica Mogherini, announced the creation of a "contact group for Venezuela" initially composed of eight European and four Latin American countries, including Sweden, which would hold its first meeting in Uruguay on February 7 and work for 90 days on the possibility of facilitating a dialogue leading to elections in Venezuela.[4]
Diplomatic missions
[edit]Sweden is represented in Venezuela through its embassy in Bogotá, Colombia. Consulates-generales in Caracas and consulate in Porlamar, Isla Margarita.[5] Venezuela had an embassy in Stockholm until March 2018.[6] The Venezuelan embassy in Sweden had been founded as a consulate in 1948, and became an embassy in 1961.[7]
