The Swiss government embarked on its annual two-day Federal Council trip on Thursday. It will take the Federal Council to Valais, the home of President Viola Amherd.

The seven members of the government arrived in Sion by train in the morning and will continue their adventure in Brig. "We are looking forward to sharing this moment of conviviality and exchange with you," said Amherd to the 100 or so people who welcomed the Federal Council in the old town of Sion in summer weather.

"This trip offers the opportunity to strengthen the ties between the members of the government, but also those with the population," continued Amherd. "It is a real pleasure and an honor to receive the Federal Councillor in Valais," replied Franz Ruppen (SVP), President of the Valais cantonal government.

After the speeches, there were opportunities for photos and handshakes with the state government, while women dressed in traditional costumes served the aperitif.
