Councillor Aurelia Frick went to Luxembourg on Monday 8 June for a working visit. Her discussions centred with Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn about the Luxembourg EU Presidency which will be in the second half of 2015. Aurelia Frick also met Minister of Culture Maggy Nagel and Lydia Mutsch, Minister for Equal Opportunities. Liechtenstein and Luxembourg maintain both bilaterally and in international organisations a close collaboration that is underlined and strengthened by regular visits at ministerial level. The conversations between the two foreign ministers centred mainly on European issues. While Jean Asselborn presented the priorities of the Luxembourg EU Presidency, Foreign Minister Aurelia Frick campaigned for understanding among concerns around the Liechtenstein financial contributions under the EEA Financial Mechanism and the difficulties in the adoption of EU legislation in the EEA. Aurelia Frick and Jean Asselborn also mentioned the current challenges posed by refugee flows to Europe.
