On August 20, 2025, the Chamber of Commerce Switzerland–Central Europe (SEC) organized an informal exchange with the Swiss Ambassadors from Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe as well as the Baltics as part of Ambassadors’ Week in Bern. The aim of the meeting was to strengthen direct dialogue between SEC and Switzerland’s diplomatic representations in the CEE region and to discuss new forms of cooperation.

The discussions were open, constructive, and highly encouraging. Ambassadors expressed strong interest in continuing such a format in the future. Even more, they emphasized their willingness to engage directly with our SEC members next time, to foster dialogue and develop cooperation even further.

This positive feedback underlines the importance of SEC as a bridge between Switzerland and the 17 CEE countries – creating opportunities, building trust, and shaping future collaborations in business, science, and society.

We sincerely thank all participating Ambassadors for their time and valuable insights. We are looking forward to the next edition – this time with our members actively involved in the conversation!
