À la #BoKo2026, mon message à nos ambassadrices et ambassadeurs est clair : dans un monde qui change vite, nous devons observer tôt, comprendre vite et agir à temps.

La #Suisse est au cœur de l’#Europe. Notre rôle est d’y défendre nos intérêts, de renforcer nos partenariats et de construire aujourd’hui les relations dont nous aurons besoin demain.

La 🇨🇭 ne peut influencer le vent, mais elle choisit son cap : #liberté, #sécurité, #prospérité et #indépendance.

This year's annual Swiss Ambassadors' Conference has begun in #Bern. The theme is "Global disorder: Switzerland in Europe and the world". The Swiss-EU package is one of the priority topics at the 2026 event. Discussions will also centre on the international situation, Switzerland's scope of action on foreign policy, and relations with key partners.

With these issues in mind, as part of the Conference FC @ignaziocassis will receive @AussenMinDE Johann Wadephul for an open forum with the Swiss diplomatic corps.
