The Fribourgeois and his wife were present among the approximately 2,000 guests invited to take part in this “very impressive” and “very striking” ceremony. His presence was an opportunity to underline the “friendship and very strong ties” between Switzerland and the United Kingdom, he said on the RTS program Forum.
There is a long tradition of contact between London and Bern, despite their differences, he added. “This difference, this complementarity perhaps can lead us to work together, to be closer than we can imagine,” said the Federal Councilor.
“Love of Switzerland”
This is also what emerges from the exchange Alain Berset had on Friday evening with Charles III. On this occasion, the king – who has been coming to Switzerland for 43 years, in particular for his ski holidays in Klosters (GR) – expressed “his love for Switzerland”, he explained. He thanked the country for the welcome it has always given him and for the human contacts.
“I felt he was touched by the welcome he always has with us and I can imagine that is something that will continue because I think he is still very attached” to Switzerland , concluded the President of the Confederation.
On Twitter, Alain Berset also “congratulated King Charles III and Queen Camilla on behalf of the Federal Council and the Swiss people”. He presented his best wishes so that this new reign in Great Britain will be “long and happy”.
