Truly memorable: the official inauguration of the historic marker for the 🇨🇭 Ambassador's Residence, together w/ @CarmelShama. An architectural gem designed by Dov Karmi & built in 1947, serving as the residence since 1960. The inspiring lecture from world-renowned architect Manuel Herz was the 2nd highlight of the evening.

Back at @HausLiebling for an evening exploring the role of architecture in shaping our public spaces – and what quality in architecture means. Manuel Herz presented his work in Basel & beyond: thought-provoking, inspiring & a reminder of the impact architecture has on the way we experience the world.

Alumni of the 🇨🇭 Gov't Excellence Scholarships (ESKAS) program are an important bridge between our countries, fostering lasting human, scientific & research connections. Fascinating to hear their personal stories & experiences at the first-ever ESKAS Alumni Event at the Residence.

Delighted to bring 🇨🇭 cinema to Sderot w/ "The Exposure" by Thomas Imbach, featured at the 25th Cinema South Festival (by @SapirCollege's School of Audio & Visual Arts). Art and diplomacy both begin w/ curiosity and a readiness to engage w/ the stories of others. @raniableier

A moment away from the diplomatic work & the intense schedule of the past few days to enjoy the spectacular sight of pelicans at the Mishmar HaSharon Lookout & to belatedly mark World Migratory Bird Day (10/10). An instant of tranquility before another demanding stretch of work ahead.
