Ding said that Switzerland is one of the first Western countries to recognize and establish diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China, adding that their bilateral relationship has exemplified mutual respect and win-win cooperation between countries with different social systems, development stages, and sizes.
He recalled Chinese President Xi Jinping's state visit to Switzerland in 2017, during which the two sides reached a series of important consensus, bringing bilateral relations to a new height.
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Switzerland, Ding said, calling on the two sides to implement the important consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries, deepen political mutual trust, continue to carry forward the China-Switzerland cooperation spirit of "equality, innovation and win-win," and push forward the China-Switzerland innovative strategic partnership to continuously break new ground.
