Exchange with civil society and environmental organizations on the EFTA-Malaysia free trade agreement and sustainability in the palm oil sector. We gathered valuable insights and highlighted Switzerland’s commitment to more sustainable palm oil production. 🌴🇲🇾
How can trade partnerships support more sustainable palm oil production? In my meeting with Malaysia’s Minister of Plantation and Commodities, YB Dr. Noraini Ahmad, we discussed aligning trade opportunities with credible sustainability standards and shared commitments. 🤝
The EFTA-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement was at the centre of discussions with Le Manh Hung, Minister of Industry and Trade of 🇻🇳. We reviewed the next steps towards its ratification and implementation and reaffirmed our commitment to strong economic ties.

Honoured to attend the meeting between 🇻🇳General Secretary Tô Lâm and🇨🇭President @ParmelinG. We discussed bilateral relations, regional and international developments, the EFTA-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement and the modernization of the Investment Protection Agreement.
A historic milestone: the EFTA States and Vietnam signed the EFTA-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement. This landmark agreement will boost trade and investment, strengthen economic ties and unlock new opportunities for businesses and citizens on both sides. 🤝

Strong partnerships start with strong connections. Productive talks with Mr Vichaow Rakphongphairoj, Vice Chairman of the Federation of 🇹🇭Industries and a large FTI delegation, on industrial cooperation and opportunities arising from the EFTA-Thailand Free Trade Agreement.🤝
How can we bring Swiss and Thai investors closer together? 🇨🇭🇹🇭 A valuable exchange with Mr Narit Therdsteerasukdi, Secretary-General of Thailand’s BOI, on strengthening investment ties and creating new opportunities for investors in both countries.
A true pleasure to meet PM Anutin Charnvirakul again as I accompany @ParmelinG on his economic mission to 🇹🇭. During my tenure as former🇨🇭Ambassador to 🇹🇭, I enjoyed a strong working relation with His Excellency Khun Anutin, then Public Health Minister during the pandemic.
From agreement to opportunity.
🇨🇭🇹🇭 Together with H.E. Mr Varawut Silpa-archa, Thailand’s Minister of Industry, we discussed the next step: ensuring the EFTA-Thailand Free Trade Agreement delivers real benefits for businesses, trade and investment.
