Switzerland's foreign policy strategy 2020-2023 focuses amongst others on the consolidation and the development of the bilateral path with the European Union (EU). In this context, relations with the EU member states and in particular with Switzerland's neighbouring countries play a key role.
Situated at the heart of the European continent, Switzerland maintains close political, economic and cultural exchanges with the EU and its member states. The FDFA runs the Confederation's Centre of Expertise for Policy on Europe and represents Liechtenstein's interests abroad.
