India and Switzerland signed agreements on migration, workforce mobility and sustainable infrastructure during Swiss President Guy Parmelin's visit, which included talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
India and Switzerland signed several agreements on Monday covering migration, workforce mobility and sustainable infrastructure, Nhan Dan reported, citing the meetings in New Delhi. Swiss President Guy Parmelin was on a three-day state visit and met Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The pacts were presented as practical cooperation rather than a trade treaty. Texts and financial totals were not published in the brief available on Tuesday.
The visit comes while India is also discussing a separate trade understanding with the United States. Those talks were not part of the Swiss signing ceremony.
No joint press conference transcript was attached to the Nhan Dan item. Further detail is expected from the Indian Ministry of External Affairs and the Swiss federal government.
Opposition lawmakers staged a separate New Delhi protest on Tuesday over voter-list revisions; that demonstration was not linked by officials to the Swiss agreements.
