“The most important source for Swiss foreign policy is the series Diplomatische Dokumente der Schweiz […]. The spread offered is impressive. The series naturally concentrates on Switzerland’s relations with the major powers, but care has been taken to include documents relating to other areas of Swiss foreign policy, so as to provide a flavour of Switzerland’s diplomatic activities as a whole. […] Documents Diplomatiques Suisses should be the first port of call for any serious research into Swiss diplomacy.”

«If neutral Switzerland did not exist, we [would have] had to invent it», an influential advisor of US President John F. Kennedy said in March 1962 to the Swiss ambassador in Washington, August R. Lindt. This «complete satisfaction» was also due to the Swiss representation of US interests in Cuba, which came to an end in August 2015 due to the renewal of diplomatic relations between Havana and Washington.
