The trainees of the Swiss diplomatic and consular service visited
Liechtenstein yesterday and today in order to get an impression of and
to learn about the Principality which many of them will represent
diplomaticly in the future. During their visit, they were received at Schloss Vaduz by Hereditary Prince Alois.
As Liechtenstein is a pretty small country, they only maintain
few diplomatic missions in other countries. The Principality has
embassies in Austria, which also serves for the Czech Republic, Belgium,
Germany, Switzerland, the United States of America as well as a
non-resident ambassador to the Holy See. In addition, it has permanent
representations in Brussels, Geneva, Strasbourg and New York City to the
different major multilateral organisations as well as a bunch of
consulates. In all other countries, Liechtenstein is represented by
Switzerland who also offer all services to Liechtensteiners that they
offer their own citizens.
Both Volksblatt and Vaterland have pictures of the day.
