It is accepted international practice that a new ambassador in a country is always given the opportunity to meet the head of state, although the ceremonies vary in different countries. In Sweden, the reception of a foreign envoy follows a traditional ceremony, and is quite unique with its centuries old traditions.

The foreign envoys received by The King during the formal audiences were:

  • The Republic of Peru's ambassador Miguel Ángel Samanez Bendezú
  • The Republic of Peru's ambassador Miguel Ángel Samanez Bendezú
  • The Republic of South Sudan's ambassador Mustafa Lowoh Walla Jabi
