Ignazio Cassis will visit Armenia and Georgia from 14 to 16 October 2026 in his capacity as head of the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA) and chairman-in-office of the OSCE.

The situation in the South Caucasus, the role of the OSCE and bilateral relations will be at the heart of the discussions, the FDFA said in a press release.

On 15 October in Yerevan, Cassis will meet with Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan. Discussions there will focus on the peace process between Armenia and Azerbaijan, regional cooperation and the role of the OSCE, which is chaired by Switzerland this year.

“Switzerland supports the peace process and stands ready to make its expertise available to both parties, should they so wish,” the FDFA said.
