"Volume is not a measure of the quality of foreign policy," said the Finance Minister when asked about any condemnation of the course taken by US President Donald Trump.
At a media conference in Bern on Friday, Keller-Sutter recalled the values that guide Switzerland's foreign policy: human rights, international law, democracy and free trade.
The President of the Swiss Confederation also reiterated Switzerland's condemnation of the Russian attack on Ukraine. Switzerland is committed to a just and lasting peace. This must respect international law and must not be one-sided to the detriment of Ukraine.
Keller-Sutter also emphasized once again that Switzerland is available to provide good offices and to accompany any peace talks, should this be desired. However, there is currently no such request: "There are simply other players in the game at the moment."
