Chinese President Xi Jinping and Swiss President Karin Keller-Sutter swapped virtual high-fives this week to mark a major milestone: 75 years of diplomatic relations between their nations. The leaders praised decades of collaboration on trade, innovation, and sustainability – proving that chocolate 🍫 and dumplings 🥟 can coexist peacefully!
Why It Matters
This isn’t just about anniversary cake 🎂. China is Switzerland’s third-largest trading partner, with bilateral trade hitting $65B+ in 2023. From precision machinery to green tech, these two have built a partnership that’s smoother than a Swiss watch ⏱️.
"Our cooperation sets an example for countries with different systems to work together," said Xi.
Keller-Sutter highlighted their climate action teamwork, calling the relationship "a bridge between East and West."
