OccupationJournalist and diplomat

Britt Charlotte Wrangberg (born 17 June 1959) is a Swedish journalist and diplomat who became the incumbent ambassador to Denmark since 2020,[1] Greece from 2013 to 2017, and Argentina from 2010 to 2013.

Early life and education

Wrangberg spent her early years mostly in Denmark, attended school in Lund, and was raised in Skåne. As a journalist at Kvällsposten in Malmö, she covered the discussion leading up to the decision to build the Öresund Bridge. After that, she switched from covering foreign affairs to working on foreign policy.[2]

Diplomatic career

Wrangberg held positions at the embassies in Madrid, Mexico City, and Pretoria. She has also worked in the Africa Unit, the Consular and Civil Affairs Unit, and the European Union Unit of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA). She served as ambassador from 2010 to 2013 in Asunción and Montevideo, then from 2013 to 2017 in Athens.[3] Wrangberg oversaw protocol at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from 2017 until 2020. She moved to Denmark as an ambassador in September 2020 after serving as the Foreign Ministry's chief of protocol.[4][5]

Greece

On 8 October 2015, Wrangberg met with the Alternate Foreign Minister for European Affairs, Nikos Xydakis, in the Foreign Ministry to address matters of common and European concern. Both parties mentioned the good cooperation between their countries throughout the meeting, which was held in a cordial environment. She concluded by expressing the personal interest of Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfvén in labor relations and social policy matters.[6]

Denmark

On 7 May 2020, the Swedish government named Wrangberg ambassador to Copenhagen. September marks her start of her new role.[7] On 9 September, Wrangberg presented her the credentials after beginning work earlier on the 1st and working for the Danish Queen Margrethe II. She has spent the first portion of that time getting to know the embassy's personnel and procedures, and at this point she was beginning to orient herself more externally and make connections with the outside world.[2]
