History[edit]
On 3 February 1965, a constitutional amendment took place that increased the required number of government councillors in the Liechtenstein cabinet from four to five.[1][2] As such, the First Gerard Batliner cabinet was succeeded with Gerard Batliner continuing as Prime Minister of Liechtenstein.[3]
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.[3]
The cabinet was dissolved on 12 June 1969 and succeeded by the Third Gerard Batliner cabinet.[3]
