Switzerland–NATO relations
Bilateral relations / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Switzerland is a neutral European country, which is not a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).[1] Since 1996, Switzerland has participated in NATO's Partnership for Peace (PfP) programme. Switzerland is surrounded by the European Union but not an EU member itself, thereby also maintaining its neutrality with regard to EU membership and the EU mutual defence clause enshrined in Article 42.7 of the consolidated version of the Treaty on European Union, although the EU treaty also provides for neutral countries to maintain their neutrality.
