150 years of diplomatic relations between Japan and Switzerland

Dear visitors of the homepage about the "150 years of diplomatic relations between Japan and Switzerland"


The “150 years anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Japan and Switzerland” is gradually drawing to its end. In February of this memorable year His Excellency President Didier Burkhalter visited Japan and in June H. I. H. the Crown Prince of Japan paid an official visit to Switzerland in his capacity as patron of the “150 years anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Japan and Switzerland” on the part of Japan. Besides, many events took place in numerous places in order to commemorate this anniversary. The success of all these events is mainly due to the kind cooperation and the enthusiasm of all participants. Concurrently, the countless visitors who attended the events added to this year’s success and thus contributed to promoting mutual respect and understanding between Japan and Switzerland.

Thus, we would like to express our deep gratitude to you all for your support and commitment. The Embassy of Japan in Switzerland, encouraged by the positive energy generated during the anniversary year, will continue its efforts to further develop the exchanges between Japan and Switzerland.

Last but not least, we wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy New Year!


Embassy of Japan in Switzerland
