NATO is preparing to open a liaison office in neutral Switzerland. The project has already been approved by Bern. SWI reported it.
It was noted that after the Swiss government’s preliminary consent in September 2022 to open a NATO office, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is preparing for its creation. Now the Alliance, which has two similar offices in New York and Vienna, must submit a formal request to Bern.
“This is one of the many signs that NATO is now starting to reorient itself. And not only, as the name suggests, in the North Atlantic, but also in Africa and even in Asia,” said David, a professor at the Geneva Higher Institute and an expert on international relations and NATO. Sylvan.
According to him, the existence of the Alliance should not damage the image of neutrality in Geneva, where many non-governmental organizations are already working on security and mine clearance issues. According to Sylvan, Switzerland is not immune to the armed conflicts taking place in other parts of the world.
Let’s recall that Japan has confirmed its intention to open the first NATO office in Asia.
