As the world continues to face ongoing conflicts such as the Russia-Ukraine war, Swiss State Secretary Alexandre Fasel points to India as a nation poised to contribute significantly to global diplomacy. He commended India's friendly ties with countries across the globe and its status as a key player in the Global South.

In a discussion with ANI, Fasel expressed hope for a peaceful resolution to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, stating, "The conclusion of such conflicts is best achieved through negotiation, not battlefield victories. Multiple layers of issues need to be addressed, including ceasefire agreements, arms control, and broader European security frameworks."

As a representative of the Global South, India's voice is pivotal in international dialogues, and I am optimistic about its positive contribution."
