On Monday 20 March, Ambassador @ThGreminger and Col Bühlmann welcomed Brigadier General (Ret.) Rolf Wagner, German Deputy Director of the @Marshall_Center and Chairman of the Partnership for Peace Consortium to discuss a New Strategic Exercises Series.
Interview par M. Paul Véronique pour l’Express (Paywall).
La collaboration militaire de la Suisse avec ses voisins, l’Union européenne et l’OTAN dont il est question dans l’article, c’est naturellement la (re)vente de munition et d’armement. La Suisse collabore avec plusieurs partenaires, par exemple dans les domaine de la protection de l’espace aérien, de l’armement et de l’instruction. Cependant, les conséquences de la récente révision de la Loi sur le matériel de guerre et la volonté de privilégier une interprétation formelle de la neutralité pourraient s’avérer préjudiciables à la poursuite de ces partenariats.
