I was pleased to welcome the @AfDB_Group @AfDBPresident Sidi Ould Tah. We explored how to build productive and innovative partnerships with the AfDB and the Swiss private and financial sectors. The AfDB is a key partner for Switzerland to reduce poverty, promote sustainable economic development and support its foreign economic policy objectives in Africa.

Good exchange with OECD Secretary-General Mathias Cormann. In a challenging international environment, Switzerland remains committed to open markets, common standards and a competitive economy. A strong Swiss voice at the OECD remains essential.

Exactly 25 years later, we must #NeverForget the dreadful 9/11 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington. Switzerland is firmly committed to the global fight against terrorism. #911Anniversary

Glad to welcome @UN High Commissioner for @Refugees Barham Salih to Bern. Humanitarian action is a core Swiss priority, especially amid today’s geopolitical tensions.
