From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of diplomatic missions of Switzerland.

Switzerland is well known as a protecting power, having used its embassies abroad to represent the interests of states hostile to each other since the Franco-Prussian War.[1] In the Second World War Switzerland served as protecting power for 35 countries on both sides—its embassy in Washington represented Germany, Italy, Japan, and Vichy France. In many post-war conflicts, including in the Democratic Republic of Congo, South Asia, the Middle East, Serbia, and Georgia, Switzerland has provided a continuity of representation after formal relations were severed between belligerents, facilitating the delivery of humanitarian aid and conflict resolution.[citation needed]
Since 1919, Switzerland has also represented the Principality of Liechtenstein in those countries wherein Liechtenstein itself does not maintain consular representation.[2] Owing to its size and population, Liechtenstein maintains a very small network of diplomatic missions.
Honorary consulates are excluded from this listing.
