Dear colleagues and distinguished members of the Swiss Chamber,
It is an honor and a privilege to address you in this new term as President of the Swiss Chamber. In these times of challenges and opportunities, it is crucial to have a clear vision and a firm commitment to our strategic objectives.
Message from the Ambassador of Switzerland in Mexico.
His Excellency Mr. Pietro Piffaretti
Ambassador of Switzerland to Mexico and Belize.
Dear Friends of the Swiss-Mexican Chamber of Commerce and Industry,
Last April 2022, I arrived in Mexico with my dear wife Rosita, honored by the opportunity to serve as Ambassador of Switzerland in Mexico. In these first months, we have been able to appreciate firsthand the high economic, cultural and social dynamism that characterizes this extraordinary country. With around 6,000 compatriots established in Mexico, and close to 250 Swiss companies with operations in Mexico, the bilateral relationship between Mexico and Switzerland is solid. This presence is the basis, the foundation, of the deep human and economic ties that exist between Switzerland and Mexico.
