Switzerland’s international cooperation strategy 2025-2028

The International Cooperation Strategy 2025-2028 adopted by Parliament in December 2024 sets out Switzerland’s priorities for development and economic cooperation, humanitarian aid and the promotion of peace and human rights. The overarching objective of international cooperation is to end poverty and support sustainable development worldwide. It is an integral part of Swiss foreign and security policy.

IC work is guided by the needs of the affected population, by the specific added value that Switzerland can contribute, and by Switzerland's long-term interests. © FDFA
