Switzerland and China have been building a strong relationship for decades, starting with their first joint venture in the 1980s. Fast forward to 2014, and they signed a free trade agreement that solidified their commitment to growth and collaboration. 🚀
Despite their differences in size and population, both nations share a belief in pragmatic, win-win cooperation and multilateralism rooted in trust and mutual respect. They stand firmly against protectionism, paving the way for open and fair trade. 🤝
In the latest edition of Leaders Talk, CMG's Zou Yun caught up with Guy Parmelin, Swiss Federal Councilor and head of the Federal Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research. They delved into the future of China-Switzerland cooperation, especially in emerging fields like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and high-tech industries. Parmelin highlighted the potential in traditional sectors too, such as vocational education and precision manufacturing. 🧠🔧
Amidst an increasingly uncertain global landscape, Parmelin emphasized the importance of trade fairness and multilateral dialogue. As a neutral country, Switzerland is more than willing to play a role in resolving conflicts and fostering international harmony. 🌍✨
This partnership is not just about business; it's about building a brighter, more connected future through innovation and collaboration.
