  • India-Switzerland Relations
    India-Switzerland Relations Political Relations India and Switzerland have had cordial and friendly relations since India’s independence. The relationship is based on shared values of democracy, multiculturalism and the rule of law. Independent India’s policy of non-alignment and Switzerland’s traditional policy of neutrality helped to develop a close understanding between the leaders of the two countries. A Treaty of Friendship between India and Switzerland was signed at New Delhi on August 14, 1948, one of the first such treaties to be signed by the independent India. The Treaty provided for the establishment of diplomatic missions between the two countries and missions were opened in Berne and Delhi soon after its conclusion. Switzerland established its Consulates General in Mumbai and Bangalore. India has a Consulate General in Geneva. During the course of 2008, India and Switzerland celebrated the 60th anniversary of the signing of the Friendship Treaty, an important milestone in the annals of Indo-Swiss bilateral relations. In recognition of the growth of multi-faceted bilateral relationship over six decades and to outline the future areas of mutual interest and cooperation, India and Switzerland have decided to elevate the bilateral relationship to a new and higher level by agreeing to establish a Privileged Partnership between them. High level visits Exchange of high level visits in the recent past has provided an impetus to strengthen bilateral cooperation. The visit of the then Swiss President, Mr. Flavio Cotti in 1998 was the first ever visit of a Swiss President to India. Later, President of the Swiss Confederation, Mr.

SHRI JAIRAM RAMESH: The idea of DFI is not new in India. The IFCI, ICICI, IDBI and other institutions have been responsible for the development of Indian business and for the development of Indian corporate. As a new chapter in DFIs is going to be launched, we should recognize the historic role played by IFCI, ICICI and IDBI. The Narasimham Committee in ___________________________________________________ This Synopsis is not an authoritative record of the proceedings of the Rajya Sabha. 566 its report had concluded that the era of DFIs is over and we need to move away from the concept of DFIs for a variety of reasons. Up to 1990, India created DFIs through Acts of Parliament but after 1990, we did not create organizations through statutes. We created companies under the Companies Act. This was the model that we adopted. Thirty years after the clock has turned back and we are going back to the DFI era.
