Swiss Defence Minister to Unpack New EU Bilateral Agreements in Geneva Lecture
Swiss Defence Minister Martin Pfister is set to deliver a public lecture at the University of Geneva on Wednesday. The talk will delve into the new package of bilateral agreements between Switzerland and the European Union, with a focus on the recently concluded consultation procedure.
Pfister will explore the political, economic, and strategic implications of the new agreements. He will also touch upon the differing views among Swiss political parties, with the right-wing Swiss People's Party rejecting the agreements outright, and other parties calling for adjustments.
Following the lecture, a round-table discussion will take place. Participants include René Schwok, Mauro Poggia, Andreas Künne, Katja Gentinetta, and Frédéric Koller. The event will also see discussions on US customs duties.
The public lecture and subsequent round-table discussion aim to foster understanding and dialogue around the new Swiss-EU bilateral news. The event promises to provide insights into the agreements' significance and the varied perspectives surrounding them.
