           🇨🇭L’innovation suisse est plus dynamique que jamais – cette soirée en a été la preuve ! Les échanges autour de la situation géopolitique actuelle ont également été riches et stimulants. Merci à la Chambre vaudoise du commerce et de l’industrie pour l’invitation !

             Today, I welcomed a 17-member tripartite delegation from Singapore 🇸🇬 interested in how Switzerland integrates older workers into the labour market 🇨🇭. We found that while we share many common challenges, we pursue different strategies and solutions to address them.

             Ich habe mich sehr über den Besuch von Bundesrat @ParmelinG beim #SECO gefreut – zum hybriden Austausch mit dem gesamten Departement. Ich teile seine Einschätzung: Die Schweiz ist für die bevorstehenden Herausforderungen gut aufgestellt – und wir bleiben dran! 🇨🇭

             Honored to represent 🇨🇭 at the Ministerial Meeting of the Global Forum on Steel Excess Capacity #GFSEC. A coordinated response is needed to address the root causes of the steel crisis.

             🇨🇭🇮🇳 A new chapter in the economic relations between Switzerland and India – the Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement (TEPA) is now in force! I had the honour to represent Switzerland at the celebrations in #Delhi, organized by @CimGOI, marking this historic milestone. 
           Today marks the entry into force of the Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement (TEPA) between EFTA and India. I look forward to working together with my dear colleague @PiyushGoyalOffc to develop new opportunities for the Swiss and Indian economies #winwinpartnership 🇮🇳 🇨🇭
