Participation of Switzerland at the Conference of Parliamentary Committees for Union Affairs
(COSAC)
Dear Madam Chair,
On behalf of the Swiss delegation for relations with the European Parliament, I extend our
congratulations to the Kingdom of Denmark as it prepares to assume the Presidency of the Council of
the European Union in the second half of 2025. Denmark's tradition of democratic governance,
innovation, and pragmatic leadership positions it well to steer the Union through a challenging
geopolitical environment. We note with interest the emerging priorities of your Presidency, including
efforts to strengthen European security and resilience, as well as the emphasis on a rules-based
international order and effective cooperation with the EU's close partners.
The COSAC meetings remain a unique platform for exchange between national parliaments. Swiss
participation in its sessions has consistently provided a meaningful opportunity to contribute our
perspective and to stay closely connected with parliamentary debates across the continent.
In this spirit, I would be grateful if Switzerland could be invited to the COSAC Chairpersons' and
Plenary meetings in Copenhagen in July and November 2025.
I wish you a successful and focused EU Presidency and look forward to your response.
Yours sincerely,
Thomas Aeschi
Chair of the Swiss delegation for relations
with the European Union
