International Relations

To fulfil their role as an important security policy instrument, Switzerland's armed forces also rely on international exchanges. These exchanges must be continuously and coherently managed and adjusted to ensure they are in the interests of the country and of the armed forces. The resulting areas of activity focus on preserving these interests and on carrying out Switzerland's international obligations.
