"Switzerland was invited to a meeting held by the two countries on
Friday on the margins of the UN General Assembly in New York.
Switzerland supports the principles of the initiative by China and
Brazil because it calls for a ceasefire and a political solution to the
conflict, Nicolas Bideau, spokesman for the Federal Department of
Foreign Affairs (FDFA), told the Keystone-SDA news agency on Friday. He
was responding to an article in the newspaper Le Temps.
The initiative is important because it offers an alternative to the
bellicose speeches made this week at the UN by both the Ukrainian and
Russian sides, said Bideau. Switzerland has always emphasised the
importance of a reference to the UN Charter in peace initiatives.
According to Mr Bideau, the importance of the UN Charter in the context
of the initiative was mentioned this week by the Chinese Foreign
Minister in the UN Security Council. For the Swiss foreign office, the
initiative falls within the framework of the UN Charter."
