Multilateral cooperation Foreign Minister Aurelia Frick takes part in the annual meetings of OSCE foreign ministers, in which the work of the past year is reviewed and the groundwork is laid for the OSCE’s future work. Liechtenstein regularly takes on chairmanships of the bodies and working groups of the OSCE and makes experts available to the various conferences. In the first quarter of 2013, Liechtenstein will chair the Forum for Security Co-operation (FSC). Alongside the Permanent Council, the FSC is one of the two consultative and decision-making bodies of the OSCE meeting each week in Vienna at the level of heads of delegation. The FSC deals with arms control and political-military security questions in the OSCE region. The OSCE offers a unique opportunity to cooperate on security issues. For Liechtenstein, which is a member of neither the European Union nor a security alliance and has only a limited diplomatic network, the OSCE will continue to offer a unique opportunity to cooperate on security issues on the European continent. | 47
