Switzerland and the Principality of
Liechtenstein enjoy excellent, friendly relations with traditionally close
ties. Some 10,000 people from Switzerland go to work in Liechtenstein every
day. Nearly 1,800 Liechtenstein cross-border commuters travel in the other
direction to work in Switzerland. The excellent neighbourly relations are
marked by pragmatic cooperation, strong economic interdependence and a steady
flow of visitors.
The presidents of the National Council and
the Council of States will be accompanied on their trip to Vaduz and Balzers by
the Swiss ambassador to the Principality of Liechtenstein, Pietro Piffaretti,
and the deputy head of International Affairs & Multilingualism, Cédric
Stucky.
