China has expressed its willingness to advance negotiations on upgrading its free trade agreement with Switzerland, according to a statement from the Chinese Commerce Ministry on Saturday. The announcement was made during a bilateral trade meeting held in Bern.
The ministry noted that a high-standard trade pact would serve as a catalyst for deeper economic integration and collaborative efforts. The focus remains on expanding the scope of the existing deal to better reflect current market dynamics and innovation goals.
A high-standard free trade agreement will inject new momentum into trade, investment and innovation cooperation between the two countries.
Both nations aim to build upon their established economic relationship, which has seen Switzerland become a significant trade partner for China in Europe. The proposed upgrades are expected to streamline investment flows and enhance cooperation in emerging industries.
