Germany–Switzerland relations
Bilateral relations / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Diplomatic relations between Germany and Switzerland are Switzerland's closest. There are over 200 agreements between Switzerland and Germany; and between Switzerland and the European Union (EU), of which Germany is a member.[1] Switzerland is also part of the EU's Schengen Area which abolishes international borders between Schengen states.
The two share a border and a language (German is one of Switzerland's four official languages). More than 44,000 Germans commute across the border every day and there is strong cross border cooperation, particularly on the Upper Rhine and Lake Constance.
