Switzerland’s foreign minister will be visiting the Philippines to discuss how to enhance its bilateral relations with Manila.

As the two nations mark 67 years of diplomatic ties, Swiss Federal Councillor for Foreign Affairs and Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis will meet Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Manalo in Manila for a one-day visit on Feb. 8.

The Department of Foreign Affairs said the two diplomats will tackle “multilateral, regional and global issues of mutual concern.” Cassis’ itinerary will also include meetings with other Philippine high-level officials, the DFA said in a statement.
