Lawatan ke Switzerland buat pertama kali, pada tahun 2006 sempena dokumentari khas 'Diplomat di Perantauan' yang disiarkan pada Aidilfitri tahun 2006. Dokumentari ini mengisahkan kehidupan diplomat yang selalunya dikaitkan dengan glamour dan golongan atasan sebenarnya berperanan penting dalam sesebuah negara. Diplomat adalah benteng pertama pertahanan negara, iaitu mempertahankan polisi kerajaan melalui diplomasi. Terima kasih kepada Duta Besar Malaysia ke Switzerland, Dato' Mohd Yusof Ahmad dan kakitangan kedutaan yang banyak membantu dokumentari ini.
Latar belakang Switzerland (English)
Switzerland (English pronunciation: [ˈswɪtsɚlənd] (help·info); German: Schweiz, Swiss German: Schwyz or Schwiiz French: Suisse, Italian: Svizzera, Romansh: Svizra), officially the Swiss Confederation (Confoederatio Helvetica in Latin, hence its ISO country codes CH and CHE), is a landlocked alpine country of roughly 7.6 million people in Western Europe with an area of 41,285 km². Switzerland is a federal republic consisting of 26 states called cantons. Berne is the seat of the federal authorities, while the country's economic centres are its three global cities, Geneva, Basel and especially Zürich. Switzerland is one of the richest countries in the world by per capita Gross Domestic Product. Zurich and Geneva have respectively been ranked as having the first and second highest quality of life in the world.[8]
It is bordered by the countries Germany, France, Italy, Austria and Liechtenstein. Switzerland has a long history of neutrality—it has not been at war since 1815—and hosts many international organizations, including the Red Cross, the World Trade Organization and one of the U.N.'s two European offices. Switzerland is multilingual and has four national languages: German, French, Italian and Romansh. The country's formal name is Schweizerische Eidgenossenschaft in German, Confédération suisse in French, Confederazione Svizzera in Italian and Confederaziun svizra in Romansh. The establishment of Switzerland is traditionally dated to 1 August 1291; the first of August is the national holiday.
Switzerland's name is pronounced as [ ʃvaɪts] in German, [sɥiːs] in French, [ˈzvit̪.t̪sera] in Italian and [ˈsvi.zra] in Romansh.
