The First Mario Frick cabinet was the governing body of Liechtenstein from 9 April 1997 to 5 April 2001. It was appointed by Hans-Adam II and was chaired by Mario Frick.
The 1997 Liechtenstein general election resulted in a win for the Patriotic Union.[1] As a result, the First Mario Frick cabinet was succeeded with Mario Frick continuing as Prime Minister of Liechtenstein.[2] The Progressive Citizens' Party withdrew from the coalition government that had existed since 1938, making the cabinet the first non-coalition cabinet since then.[3]
During the government's term, it faced continued issues with foreign relations, such as in 2001 a dispute with Germany started in the International Court of Justice over royal property confiscated in order to pay war debts.
The 2001 Liechtenstein general election resulted in a win for the Progressive Citizens' Party. As a result, the cabinet was dissolved and Frick was succeeded by Otmar Hasler in the First Otmar Hasler cabinet.
