International affairs

The International Affairs Division defends the interests of Switzerland and its citizens by concluding agreements on social security coordination and by participating in activities run by international organisations.

It checks the compliance of national legislation with international commitments undertaken by Switzerland, as well as its compatibility with European law. It also shares Swiss experiences in relation to social security and social policy with international partners, and vice versa.
