Bilateral relations

Latvia and Sweden have bilateral relations dating back to at least 1776, when a Swedish consulate was established in Riga.[1] Parts of Livonia fell under the Swedish Empire from 1621 to 1709, including the dominion of Swedish Livonia.[2] The two resumed diplomatic relations on 28 August 1991, following Latvia's restoration of independence amidst the dissolution of the Soviet Union.[3] Latvia has an embassy in Stockholm while Sweden has an embassy in Riga. Both countries border the Baltic Sea and are members of the European Union, the Nordic-Baltic Eight, the Council of Europe and NATO, among other organisations.
