Swiss President Viola Amherd and Chinese Premier Li Qiang met in Swiss capital Bern to boost trade ties. The two met as global leaders kick off an annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos.

“This marks an important step towards the start of possible negotiations,” the Swiss government said. Besides moving to upgrade the free trade deal, the countries also agreed on simplifying visa procedures for travel, China’s state media outlet Xinhua reported

    I thought the idea was decoupling from China, but the Swiss are strengthening ties?

      Nazis one war, China the next, what do the Swiss care except money.

      Well, who actually does do that? The US a bit, but mostly for their own interest in a few important strategic topics. The rest of the world, including the EU pretty much continues as usual, so why should Switzerland of all countries start antagonising China?

      I mean I’m all for not involving our self so much with China, but if this happens it has to come as group effort. If only a few countries start, they just cripple their economy while the other countries profit.

        All the west is making headway towards it? Ths EU in particular is picking up steam in regards to its handling of China.
