In 1919, #Swiss chocolatier Fritz Bützer opened the 1st @Bettys Café in Harrogate with high-quality products, live music & courteous service. Great to enjoy Afternoon Tea in York for which Betty’s is still famous. Fantastic example of historic🇨🇭-🇬🇧 business relations.

This week the Embassy team put on our comfortable shoes and got moving for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek .   We had team bike rides, runs, zumba, yoga, meditation and even a walk in Hyde Park to see Spring in bloom. Thanks to everyone who got involved!

#MiddleEast | 🇨🇭 is very concerned about a large-scale military offensive in #Rafah , which would have serious humanitarian consequences. All parties must immediately work towards a #ceasefire and the release of all hostages. #HumanitarianAid must reach all civilians in need.

Hydropower is Switzerland’s most important source of #renewable energy 💧 The first Swiss #hydropower plant was installed in 1879 to light the dining room of a St. Moritz hotel Today, there are almost 700 plants with a capacity of at least 300 kilowatts 🌊
