Swiss Foreign Affairs Minister Ignazio Cassis is making an official visit to Ulaanbaatar from 4-6 April at the invitation of his Mongolian counterpart D.Tsogtbaatar.
The visit is important for strengthening friendly relations between Mongolia and Switzerland, consolidating economic and trade cooperation as well as extending cultural and humanitarian sector interaction.
During the visit, the two foreign ministers held negotiations and signed cooperation agreements. In addition, the two sides discussed cooperation issues in politics, agriculture, food, science, road and transportation.
Switzerland's cooperation with Mongolia started in 2001; initially providing humanitarian aid for herders who had lost livestock in weather-related disasters. This assistance was extended in 2004, since which date the Swiss Cooperation Office has implemented projects and programmes worth over CHF 100 million in Mongolia.
