The third edition of the Parliamentary Foreign Policy Day held on 6 November was opened by National Council president Eric Nussbaumer (SP, BL) and featured an address by the president of the Czech Republic, Petr Pavel, who is in Switzerland for a state visit. The event, which arose from a desire to strengthen coordination and exchanges between the various parliamentary bodies concerned with foreign policy issues, was led by the presidents of the foreign affairs committees, National Council member Laurent Wehrli (FDP, VD) and Council of States member Marco Chiesa (SVP, TI). The day was devoted to Russia's war against Ukraine and Asia's geopolitical influence on the international stage.

In his opening address, Czech President Petr Pavel offered a first-hand perspective on the threats posed to democracies by the many conflicts, including and in particular that in Ukraine, and called for greater cooperation between democracies to meet these challenges. The president then spoke with members of parliament during which the results of the US elections and the role of neutral countries such as Switzerland were discussed. The first block of the event was devoted to the conflict in Ukraine, its geopolitical implications and discussions on various scenarios for the future, also in the light of the US elections on 5 November. Participants heard from Ambassador Thomas Greminger, director of the GCSP, Thomas Graham, a former senior US official and expert on Russia, and Daniel Möckli, head of the Center for Security Studies at the ETH Zurich. The discussion between the experts and members of parliament focused in particular on the consequences for Switzerland's foreign policy.

The second block focused on Asia's geopolitical influence on the international stage. The region is currently the focus of increasing tensions between China and the United States. Asia is home not only to the world's fastest-growing markets, but also to strategic areas of global importance in terms of security policy, notably the Taiwan Strait, the Korean peninsula and the South China Sea. The introduction to this block was given by Kyung-whaKang (President and CEO of the Asian Society, Foreign Minister of South Korea from 2017 to 2021) on the subject of future relations between Asia and Europe. Ms Kang gave an in-depth analysis of Asia's many-faceted role as a geopolitical player and, in particular, of what this means for Europe and Switzerland.

This was followed by a round-table discussion featuring Antoine Bondaz (Director of the Indo Pacific Observatory at the French think tank Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique), Bernardino Regazzoni (Swiss Ambassador to China until 2022) and Zichen Wang (expert at the Chinese think-tank Center for China and Globalization). The participants examined the close link between prosperity and security in Europe and security trends in Asia. They sought to identify opportunities for European states to regain a place in the rapidly evolving regional order after decades of exclusion, and to intensify both bilateral and multilateral cooperation in the region. The possible new directions of US foreign policy and the expected consequences for Switzerland were also discussed during the debate with members of parliament.​
