China, Switzerland Vow to Further Innovative Strategic Partnership

China and Switzerland vowed on Tuesday to further their innovative strategic partnership.

The pledge was made between Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi, and Swiss Federal Councillor and Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis when they held the two countries' first round of foreign ministerial strategic talks.

In 2016, China and Switzerland established an innovative strategic partnership, the first of its kind between China and a foreign country.

China is willing to boost its innovation cooperation with Switzerland in the new era to fulfill the important consensus reached by the two heads of state, Wang said.
