Raymond Loretan, New President of the Foundation of the Grand Prix D
PRESS RELEASE Geneva, April 19th 2018 Raymond Loretan, new President of the Foundation of the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) The Foundation of the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève has enlisted the services of an experienced figure. Raymond Loretan, the new President of the Foundation, took up his position in January 2018. He wishes to continue developing this institution on both national and international levels and to impart fresh momentum. While guaranteeing the strict independence and neutrality of the Grand Prix, he believes the Foundation must explore new modes of cooperation to ensure its sustainability and to continue promoting the reputation of the watch industry both within Switzerland and worldwide. Raymond Loretan succeeded Carlo Lamprecht, who had chaired the Foundation since its creation in 2011. Carlo Lamprecht served the GPHG with energy and dedication, alongside the Director of the Foundation, Carine Maillard. After seven years in this role, he expressed a wish to step down in order to devote more time to other activities. The Board of the Foundation expresses its deep gratitude for his immense contribution to extending Swiss watch industry’s global reach. Raymond Loretan From diplomacy to economics along with politics and the media, Loretan is a man of conviction and commitment. Diplomatic and international experience: after graduating with a law degree from the University of Fribourg and a degree in European law from the University of Strasbourg, he began his career with an internship at the UN in New York and The Hague. He was recruited to the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs in 1983 via the multi-stage competitive process for careers in diplomacy known as the Concours, successively working as Diplomatic Secretary of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Edouard Brunner; and then as personal assistant to Federal Council Arnold Koller at the Federal Department of Defence and at the Federal Department of Justice and Police between 1987 and 1990.

The Transfer of Soviet Prisoners of War from Afghanistan To
WORKING PAPER 94 The Transfer of Soviet Prisoners of War from Afghanistan to Switzerland, 1982-1984 By Liliane Stadler, December 2020 THE COLD WAR INTERNATIONAL HISTORY PROJECT WORKING PAPER SERIES Christian F. Ostermann and Charles Kraus, Series Editors This paper is one of a series of Working Papers published by the Cold War International History Project of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C. Established in 1991 by a grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Cold War International History Project (CWIHP) disseminates new information and perspectives on the history of the Cold War as it emerges from previously inaccessible sources from all sides of the post-World War II superpower rivalry. Among the activities undertaken by the Project to promote this aim are the Wilson Center's Digital Archive; a periodic Bulletin and other publications to disseminate new findings, views, and activities pertaining to Cold War history; a fellowship program for historians to conduct archival research and study Cold War history in the United States; and international scholarly meetings, conferences, and seminars. The CWIHP Working Paper series provides a speedy publication outlet for researchers who have gained access to newly-available archives and sources related to Cold War history and would like to share their results and analysis with a broad audience of academics, journalists, policymakers, and students. CWIHP especially welcomes submissions which use archival sources from outside of the United States; offer novel interpretations of well-known episodes in Cold War history; explore understudied events, issues, and personalities important to the Cold War; or improve understanding of the Cold War’s legacies and political relevance in the present day.

End of Mandat Press
Federal Department of Foreign Affairs FDFA General Secretariat GS-FDFA Presence Switzerland Bern, 15 July 2015 Dossier for Swiss representations and the media concerning the end of Switzerland's mandates to represent United States interests in Cuba and Cuban interests in the United States PRESENCE SWITZERLAND Federal Department of Foreign Affairs 1 Federal Department of Foreign Affairs FDFA General Secretariat GS-FDFA Presence Switzerland Summary: From the end of the 19th century, but particularly during the Second World War, Switzerland took on a large number of mandates to represent the diplomatic interests of foreign states in third countries, mainly due to its policy of neutrality. Its mandate to represent the United States in Cuba is the longest in Swiss history. It lasted from 1961 to 2015, albeit in reduced form from 1977 when management of the United States Interests Section in Havana was taken over by US officials working in their former embassy. Between 1961 and 1980, the Swiss delegation faced many challenges. From 1961 onwards, it engaged intensively in negotiations and worked hard to find solutions benefiting US citizens and interests in Cuba. This was especially true in the first years, amid the global tensions resulting from the Cold War. Discreetly but effectively, the Swiss representation in Cuba acted as a privileged intermediary between the two governments, a neutral but effective player in extremely tense political situations. In particular, it was instrumental in enabling 260,000 Cubans to leave for the United States. Introduction Between 1914 and 1918 and again during the Second World War, Switzerland took on a large number of mandates to represent the interests of foreign states in third countries, mainly due to its policy of neutrality in a conflict-torn world.
