The government's term in office was characterized by efforts to expand Liechtenstein's foreign affairs, particularly towards the country's ascension to the Council of Europe. It also included the founding of the Liechtenstein Development Service and special education aid 1965.[4] The cabinet continued after the 1966 Liechtenstein general election.
