The Editorial office of the website "nregion.com" became aware from
reliable sources that in the near future, Sweden will, for the first
time in its history, appoint an ambassador to the countries of South
Caucasus, Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia. The ambassador will be the
experienced Swedish Diplomat Hans-Gunnar Adin. He had worked in Russia,
France and the Ukraine until his appointment as the new Ambassador.
Unfortunately Sweden is not going to open an embassy in any of the
South Caucasian countries, Trend reports quoting Caucasus Press. The
Ambassador's residence will be in Stockholm.
As previously, Schengen visas to visit Sweden will be issued in
Azerbaijan by the Consular Department of Norway, in Armenia by the
German Embassy and in Georgia by the Embassy of Greece.
It seems that by the appointment of its ambassador to the countries of
South Caucasus, Sweden demonstrates its increasing interest towards
the region. Adin is expected to visit the countries of the region in
the near future.
At present, the mission of the accredited ambassador in Georgia and
Armenia has been implemented by the Swedish Ambassador to Russia,
and in Azerbaijan by the Swedish Ambassador in Turkey.
The Consulate of Sweden in Tbilisi is still in operation.
