Switzerland is taking part in a NATO military alliance exercise on crisis management. This was decided by the Federal Council. The exercise will take place in spring 2025. No troops will be involved.
Participation in the exercise is compatible with the obligations of neutrality, the Federal Council announced on Wednesday. Several federal offices are planning to take part.
Switzerland plays its own role as a neutral state in the fictitious exercise scenario, it said. It decides for itself which aspects of crisis management it wants to practise.
According to the information provided, Switzerland already took part in similar exercises in 2001, 2005, 2008 and 2010.
