In 1956, Switzerland and Saudi Arabia officially established diplomatic relations 🇨🇭🇸🇦
The formal mutual agreement between our two sovereign states to engage in official, structured, and peaceful communication enabled our two countries to manage their interests through authorized diplomatic representatives. This agreement has grown into 70 years of trust, dialogue and shared ambition — across diplomacy, economy and culture.

في عام 1956، أقامت سويسرا والمملكة العربية السعودية علاقات دبلوماسية رسمية 🇨🇭🇸🇦
ذلك الاتفاق السيادي المتبادل، القائم على التواصل الرسمي والمنظّم والسلمي، أرسى جسور الحوار بين البلدين عبر ممثليهما الدبلوماسيين، ومهّد لمسيرة امتدت على مدى 70 عاماً من الثقة والتفاهم والطموح المشترك، عبر الدبلوماسية والاقتصاد والثقافة.
