This is a list of diplomatic missions of Sweden. Sweden has a moderately sized diplomatic network of 79 embassies and 7 consulates general, supplemented by honorary consulates, cultural centres and trade missions. Of note Sweden was the first Western country to have an embassy in Pyongyang.[1] The embassy in Pyongyang continues to provide limited consular services to citizens of several Western countries without a presence in North Korea and acts as the consular protecting power of the United States, Canada, and Australia since 1995.[2][3]
