The successful integration of foreign nationals is crucial for social cohesion in Switzerland. In order to achieve greater social cohesion, promote mutual respect and tolerance and offer immigrants an equal opportunity to participate in economic, social and cultural life, the Confederation, the cantons and the communes encourage integration on the basis of their common policy on integration.
