Liechtenstein–Spain relations are the bilateral and diplomatic relations between these two countries. Neither Liechtenstein nor Spain has embassies in the other, however the Spanish embassy in Switzerland is accredited to Liechtenstein, as well as its consulate in Zürich, and the Swiss embassy in Spain also represents Liechtenstein.[1][2][3]
Diplomatic relations[edit]
In 1919 Switzerland assumed responsibility for the diplomatic representation of Liechtenstein, replacing Austria. In recent years Liechtenstein has established Embassies in several countries: Brussels, Berlin, Paris, Vienna, Bern, New York City – UN, Geneva – UN, Strasbourg – Council of Europe. The Foreign Service has a total of 26 diplomats. Relations with Spain are channeled through the respective Embassies in Bern.[4]
As of December 31, 2014, 400 Spaniards in the Principality of Liechtenstein were registered in the Consular Registration of Zurich. According to local data, the Principality had a population of 366 Spaniards at the end of 2014. Conversely, there are 34 Liechtenstein citizens residing in Spain. Since 2004 he has been serving as honorary Vice Consul Markus Kolzoff.[4]
Spanish emigration in Liechtenstein is relatively recent, with the majority of emigrants arriving in the 1990s to 2000, mainly from the Cantabrian coast, especially from Asturias and Galicia, many of the same geographical areas, and the majority to work in industrial and agricultural product manufacturing and construction industries.[4]
Economic relations[edit]
Trade relations are part of the EU special relations with the countries EFTA, an organization of which it has been a part since 1991, for which it enjoys almost total commercial integration in the industrial and consumer sectors, although the same does not happen with agricultural products. In addition, Liechtenstein has been a member of the European Economic Area since 1995 (and since that year, a member of the WTO), so that economic integration with the EU is high.[5]
