Switzerland in short

What words come to mind when you hear the name Switzerland: central, mountains, lakes, banking, chocolate, technology, yodeling, railroads, or neutral? Switzerland is known for a variety of disparate reasons, but what unites them is a country that embraces the strength that comes from diversity. The Swiss landscape awes visitors from the moment they get a glimpse of those first mountain peaks or stare into the depths of a Swiss lake. Switzerland can boast some of the finest technological research facilities and institutions in the world, but at the same time they maintain a quaint persona as the home of yodelers and the famous Heidi. And of course there is the continuing enigma of Switzerland’s position as a ‘neutral’ country despite their centrality in Europe. But perhaps Switzerland’s greatest achievement and the reason they deserve a place in the pantheon of world influencers, is their chocolate!

Switzerland is the house of headquarters of United Nation.
