Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein are linked by ties of friendship based on excellent relations and traditional close contacts. Every day, around 10,000 people commute from Switzerland to work in the Principality, and nearly 1,800 cross-border commuters from Liechtenstein travel to Switzerland. The excellent neighbourly relations are marked by pragmatic cooperation, strong economic interdependence and a steady flow of visitors.
Ms Carobbio Guscetti and Mr Fournier will be accompanied to Vaduz by member of the National Council, Walter Müller (FDP, SG).
