Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Sweden

The Korean Embassy in Stockholm has been a cornerstone of Korea's Nordic presence since diplomatic relations were established in 1959. Sweden holds a special place in Korea's diplomatic history: it has served as a member of the Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission monitoring the Korean armistice since 1953 — a unique and enduring connection. Home to Ericsson, Volvo, and IKEA, Sweden is also a significant economic partner and an important venue for Korean technology and business engagement in Scandinavia.

South Korea – Sweden Diplomatic Relations

Korea and Sweden established diplomatic relations in 1959 and have maintained consistently warm ties. Sweden's participation in the Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission along the Korean DMZ, in place since the 1953 armistice, gives the relationship a distinctive security dimension unlike any other bilateral partnership Korea has in Europe. On the economic front, both countries are technology-intensive export economies that benefit from open trade and regulatory cooperation under the Korea-EU FTA. Sweden hosts over 13,000 Koreans — a large proportion of whom arrived as adoptees, with around 8,900 Korean-born individuals holding Swedish citizenship.
