Ireland in Sweden
Ireland and Sweden share a rich history characterised by strong diplomatic ties, cultural appreciation and mutual respect.
Following Ireland’s official independence on April 18, 1949, Sweden was among the first nations to establish formal diplomatic relations, a testament to our longstanding friendship.

A Strategy for the Nordic Baltic Region
Building on the strong foundations of our relationship with our Nordic-Baltic neighbours
Over the decades, our two countries have united to advocate for shared values on human rights and the rule of law, and our shared interests globally. As close partners in the European Union and in international organisations such as the United Nations, our connections have never been stronger.
A vibrant Irish community is thriving across Sweden, contributing to their local communities. Organisations such as the Swedish-Irish Society in Stockholm, Malmö and Gothenburg and GAA Clubs in Stockholm, Gävle and Sandviken play a pivotal role in fostering cultural exchange and community engagement.
