Russia and China not in attendance at peace conference talks involving more than 100 state and institutional representatives taking place amid high security at Swiss mountaintop resortTaoiseach Simon Harris alongside Iraq's foreign minister Fuad Hussein at the plenary session of the Ukraine peace summit at the Burgenstock resort, near Lucerne, Switzerland , on Saturday.
“Our nations are stronger than any aggressor,” he said. “The very idea of international law remains alive and your presence here proves that the UN charter and basic conventions are not a formality but real conditions of coexistence.” The Taoiseach called the gathering, the largest since the war began in February 2022, an “important moment to begin the process of mapping out what peace may look like”.
“Talking is important and, in democratic countries, that is what we do,” he said. “We talk lots, we engage and try to bring together a consensus.” Foreign minister Faisal bin al Saud expressed hope the Swiss gathering would lead to a “political track” of “fair dialogue between all parties”. In advance of the gathering US vice-president Kamala Harris pledged a €1.4 billion package to help repair energy generation infrastructure damaged by Russian bombardments.
