Minister for Foreign Affairs (Sweden)

The current Minister for Foreign Affairs is Maria Malmer Stenergard of the Moderate Party.The office was instituted in 1809 as a result of the constitutional Instrument of Government promulgated in the same year.Until 1876 the office was called Prime Minister for Foreign Affairs (Swedish: statsminister för utrikes ärendena, commonly known as utrikesstatsminister), similar to the office of Prime Minister for Justice (Swedish: justitiestatsminister).The holder of the office did however continue to be styled as "Your excellency", until 1974 when the new Instrument of Government came into force.Before the parliamentary breakthrough in the early 20th century, that title had been granted exclusively to members of the most prominent noble families.
