Switzerland looks forward to China renewing its commitments to multilateralism, open economies and free trade during the upcoming two sessions to be held in March, Swiss Ambassador to China Jean-Jacques de Dardel said. “Chinese foreign policy is geared toward multilateralism, openness of market and free trade,” he told China Daily in Beijing on Thursday. “The creation of the AIIB (Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank) is welcome proof of the fact that China is ready to play the game in a multilateral sphere, not only in bilateral relations,” he added. Speaking highly of the speeches made by President Xi Jinping in January during his trip to Switzerland, the ambassador said that he hoped China would continue to be dedicated to openness and free trade. “The two sessions will bring more substance to what I’ve heard in Davos, Geneva and Bern very recently,” he said. China is scheduled to hold the annual sessions of the country’s top legislature and top political advisory agency in March, during which lawmakers will review the government work report submitted by the State Council, China’s Cabinet.
