Ambassador Kompass will talk about his plans for the coming years in developing relations between Central America and Sweden, creating a better understanding and promoting trade and investments.
Ambassador Kompass is a Swedish diplomat, until recently working in the Department of the Americas of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs. He has among others been employed by the United Nations with focus on development issues and human rights in Central America, Mexico and Colombia. Between 2009 and 2016 he was department head of the field operations at the UN office for human rights (OHCHR-Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights) in Geneva. During the 1980s he was engaged in the peace efforts in Central America, based at the Embassy of Sweden in Mexico as well as at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs. In the 1970s, he worked for two years in the village of Pasac in Guatemala with alphabetization of its indigenous habitants. In 1982 he was recruited to the Swedish MFA.
Ambassador Kompass was in 2017 awarded with the Stig Dagerman Prize for his courage and disregarding personal consequences in speaking up for the children of the Central African Republic which were tortured by UN forces.
After the presentation refreshments will be served and you will have the opportunity to meet the Central American Ambassadors accredited to Sweden for interesting discussions.
