Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year 2025!

Dear Swiss Abroad, 
Dear Friends of the Fifth Switzerland,

We send you our warmest wishes for the holiday season. May 2025 be a successful, happy and prosperous year for all of you, wherever you may be.

The new year will bring with it opportunities to come together, strengthen our relationships, and amplify the voices of the Swiss Abroad, who make up 11 percent of the Swiss population.

We trust that 2025 will be characterised by dialogue, solidarity, and commitment. Let us focus on what we have in common and work together on the issues that affect us all. We wish you a year full of interesting encounters and new insights.

Filippo Lombardi, President
