There are two specialist associations based in Switzerland:
La Société Suisse-Asia which was established in 1939 and has
around 200 members. This is mainly active in Zürich.
La Société Suisse Moyen Orient et Civilisation islamique -
established in 1990 which also has around 200 members, of whom around half are
teachers in universities and students and a quarter are journalists. This is
based in Bern.
