Introduction This brochure summarises the report ‘Die Schweiz in der Welt 2028’ (Switzerland in the world in 2028) released on 2 July 2019. The report is available in German, French and Italian on the FDFA website (www.eda.admin.ch/AVIS28-EN). The report is the product of a working group appointed by Federal Councillor Ignazio Cassis. The main objective was to examine the opportunities, challenges and interests of Swiss foreign policy from a medium-term perspective. At several meetings between October 2018 and May 2019, the working group developed a ‘Foreign Policy Vision Switzerland 2028’ (in German : Aussenpolitische Vision Schweiz 2028, AVIS28). The purpose of AVIS28 is to provide inspiration for the future direction of Swiss foreign policy. AVIS28 is also intended to open a wider discussion on Swiss foreign policy and on what lies ahead in the coming years for the country. The report lays out a vision in six points for the year 2028. It defines a set of priorities and proposes measures with which the vision can be realised. 2
