Counsellors for Cultural Affairs worldwide

Sweden currently has Counsellors for Cultural Affairs working at Sweden’s embassies in Beijing, Berlin, London, Moscow, Paris, and Washington and at Sweden’s Consulate General in Istanbul and Sweden’s Permanent Representation at the European Union in Brussels. In 2017 a post of Counsellor for Cultural Affairs is planned to be established at the Swedish Embassy in Pretoria, South Africa. The main task of Sweden’s Counsellors for Cultural Affairs is to promote cultural exchanges with the country in which they are posted and stimulate cultural dialogue. The Counsellors for Cultural Affairs are an important resource for international collaboration between Sweden and the countries in which they are posted. They initiate projects, pass on contacts and report on relevant cultural and cultural policy issues.
