The embassy monitors the economic and political situation in North Macedonia and communicates developments that are of interest for Switzerland.

Switzerland has been supporting North Macedonia in its transition towards a pluralistic democracy and a fully functioning economy since 1992. The Swiss development programmes contributed not only to the transition process, but also established strong links of cooperation between Swiss and the institutions in North Macedonia, enterprises, and civil society organizations. After its merging with the Swiss Cooperation Office in 2014, development cooperation is the core area of activity within the embassy. This includes planning and coordination of the implementation of the Swiss Cooperation Programme North Macedonia 2021–24.
