The support of the final communiqué by the absolute majority of the summit participants was a surprise for the forum organizers.
Results of the Peace Summit on Ukraine, held in Bürgenstock on June 15-16, will be discussed with Russia, China and other countries that did not participate in this international forum.
This was announced by Swiss Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis at a press conference following the Summit, Interfax-Ukraine reports.
The head of the Swiss Foreign Ministry did not specify which topics will be the subject of a conversation with representatives of the aggressor state and when it will take place.
“We have a current embassy in Moscow, and every two weeks we communicate with the Minister of Foreign Affairs… I will not talk about this more specifically,” he said.
Ignazio Cassis also announced plans to discuss the results of the summit with other countries, “on whose door we knocked, but they did not come, for example, China.”
The Foreign Minister recalled that these countries refused to participate, seeing the impossibility of attracting Russian representatives to this meeting.
“We will now have a deep discussion with these countries and discuss how or where this path can lead us. There are different opinions and ideas on how we can continue this path, the path to peace. And these different ideas must be united to find a common path forward,” Cassis emphasized.
He pointed out that China and Brazil could take a different path, and it was also about finding a way to combine these different approaches.
At the same time, Ignazio Cassis noted that the support of the final communiqué by the absolute majority of the summit participants was a surprise for the forum organizers.
“I think that the fact that almost everyone joined – only 7 or 8 people refused – is a great success. We were surprised ourselves,” he said.
Recall that the participants in the Peace Summit in a joint communiqué noted the need to ensure nuclear security in Ukraine, the inadmissibility of using food security as a weapon and stated the need for a complete exchange of prisoners of war and the return home of deported Ukrainian children.
