Bilateral relations

The United States and Liechtenstein executed their first treaty in 1926. Diplomatic relations were established in 1997.[1] Since then, the relations between the two nations have been stable. Representatives of both countries in 2002 signed a mutual legal assistance treaty focused largely on jointly combating money laundering and other illegal banking activities.
