History edit

Konsulatet, som upprättades genom kungligt brev den 3 juni 1853, hade till distrikt brittiska kolonien Hongkong. Det indrogs genom beslut den 22 maj 1896 och distriktet lades under generalkonsulatet i Shanghai. Genom beslut den 15 november 1867 bestämdes, att ett generalkonsulat skulle upprättas för Kina och andra östasiatiska länder med lön av 8,000 riksdaler Hambuger banco, och att Victoria på Hongkong tills vidare skulle vara generalkonsulns residens. Arvodet begagnades emellertid den 22 november 1867 till ersättning åt premiärlöjtnanten Herman Annerstedt för ett särskilt uppdrag att i Ostasien studera de förenade rikenas handels- och sjöfartsförhållanden, och generalkonsulatet blev tills vidare fortfarande förlagt till Shanghai.^[1]

Konsuln i Hongkong, generalkonsul C. Blaker, har beviljats entledigande, och det olönade konsulatet där har ersatts med ett lönat konsulat. Till konsul i Hongkong har förordnats ambassadrådet vid beskickningen i Köpenhamn Torsten Brandel.^[2]

District edit

Buildings edit

Svenska konsulatet i Hongkong har i dagarna flyttat in i nya lokaler i en modern kontorsbyggnad i Hongkong-ön med vacker utsikt över Hongkongs färgrika och livligt trafikerade hamn. De nya lokalerna har i byggnadsstyrelsens regi inretts med svenska möbler och textilier, svensk armatur och modern svensk konst på väggarna.^[3]
