Our Ambassador in Bern: Crown Prince's Visit to Switzerland Marks a Milestone in Bilateral Relations

Our ambassador to Switzerland, Youssef Abdul Samad, affirmed that the visit being made by His Highness the Crown Prince, Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled, to Switzerland, and his scheduled meeting with Swiss President Guy Parmelin, represent an important milestone in the trajectory of bilateral relations and reflect the shared commitment to continuing to enhance dialogue, cooperation, and coordination between the two countries, particularly on issues of mutual interest.

Ambassador Abdul Samad said in a statement to KUNA that the Crown Prince’s visit to Switzerland assumes special significance in light of the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the State of Kuwait and the Swiss Confederation, which have been characterized over the decades by friendship, cooperation, and regular political dialogue.

He added that the visit at this stage reflects Kuwait’s determination, alongside the Swiss Confederation, to build on the achievements attained and to advance Kuwaiti-Swiss relations toward broader horizons of cooperation and partnership, serving the common interests of the two countries and their friendly peoples.

He clarified that Swiss President Guy Parmelin’s visit to Kuwait last February, and his meetings with His Highness the Amir, Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad, and His Highness the Crown Prince, Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled, likewise embodied the mutual high-level interest in these relations.

He noted that Kuwaiti-Swiss relations have witnessed notable development over the years, expanding to encompass multiple fields, including peace and security, sustainable development, the economy, and investment, as well as efforts to develop cultural aspects.
