There are a small number of Pakistani scientists working at CERN.〔(CERN and Pakistan: A Personal Perspective (CERN Courier) )〕〔(CERN and Pakistan consolidate their partnership: CERN DS )〕 In addition, Pakistan maintains an important diplomatic presence in Switzerland through its embassy as well as a Permanent Mission to the United Nations in Geneva. There is a ''Swiss Pakistan Society'', a non-political and non-denominational organisation of Pakistani nationals living in Switzerland. The small Ahmadiyya movement in Switzerland was initially established and run by founders from Pakistan.
