List of diplomatic missions of Switzerland

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. 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. Owing to its size and population, Liechtenstein maintains a very small network of diplomatic missions.

Honorary consulates are excluded from this listing.
