Switzerland’s president said talks on a new political deal with the European Union should be completed soon, signaling confidence that the country can steady relations with its largest trading partner after a previous effort fell apart.
“We are on the finishing streak and want to iron out the two, three open questions,” Viola Amherd said on Thursday. “Switzerland wants to stabilize and deepen the bilateral path with the EU.”
