About
National Security Advisor Conference
The peace formula was launched by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the end of 2022 and formulates various principles for lasting peace in Ukraine. These include punishing aggression, protecting lives and restoring Ukraine's security and territorial integrity. Switzerland welcomes the initiative in principle, as it does any project that can serve as a basis for a negotiation process leading to lasting peace.
Federal Councillor Ignazio Cassis will open the meeting of National Security Advisors in Davos. Ambassador Gabriel Lüchinger, Head of the FDFA's International Security Division, will lead the Swiss delegation to the substantive talks at security advisor level.
Why is the conference taking place in Switzerland?
Switzerland regularly hosts negotiations or acts as a mediator for talks and meetings.
With this in mind, Ukraine has asked Switzerland to host the next NSA conference. Switzerland is thus continuing its cooperation in shaping future perspectives for Ukraine. With the WEF taking place shortly afterwards, there are promising synergies to enable the broadest possible participation of many countries.
Around 120 countries will be invited to the conference at National Security Advisor level. The definitive list of participants will not be known until very shortly before the conference.
Federal Councillor Ignazio Cassis will represent Switzerland on site and open the conference. The substantive discussions will take place at National Security Advisor level. The Swiss delegation will be headed by Ambassador Gabriel Lüchinger, Head of the EDA's International Security Division.
